I mite be stating the obvious but have you tried a dvd/cd cleaning disc :-/

the other thing to try would be take the cover off and clean the lazer with some alcohol on a cotton bud :-/

hope this helps :)

NO !  Never use chemicals if cleaning a laser with a cotton bud

It will damage the surface coating

The lenses often have anti-reflective coatings on them.....hence the need to be careful.

If you want to clean them with a cotton bud, then do nothing more than to breath on them to create a light mist and then gently wipe the condensation back off. be carefull not to apply too much pressure as the coils that move the lens up and down are exceptionally sensitive, and are very easily damaged.
