    Jesus, strange question. Feather duster or just hoover it if you are lazy. Or do what I do. Don't bother.

    Unless of course this is a gathering dust type troll.

    There are various lens cleaners products on the market for cleaning CD and DVD players. One of those might work.

    No, that's not recommended (in fact Nintendo claim that it can damage the wii lens). In any case, the wii cannot officially play CD's or DVD's so the disks wont spin for long. There is an official wii lens cleaner available in the states, hopefully in europe soon also. I read also that some people use a can of compressed air to remove dust by spraying into the wii. Again, i don't know if you can even by compressed air over here!

    You can definitely buy compressed air over here, though generally only commercial suppliers sell it. Peats or similar might be lucky. I'm not sure if that would be any good though.

    If the machine is scratching discs, then it's a problem with the machine, especially if it's a new one.
