Most people here clean their games with diluted rubbing alchool and a q-tip.
I usually use 1 part water to 4 parts alchohol and it seems to work great.

Use cleaning alcohol, but check that it doesn't contain more then 80% alcohol.

No liquid needed.  Scotch-brite scour pad...It's the only thing that actually removes the oxidation.

Heck, someone even said running it under the tap worked.  Stupid warnings on the back don't even know what they're talking about. ...

I open the cartridge and spray the contact pads with a spray for cleaning electric contact surfaces (Got it at an elctronics store for 50 SEK ~6 euro) and just wipe it off. Works like a charm.

I tried the eraser once, but didn't like the results I got from it.

..seemed to make it even more dirty... Sad

Tnx!
What do you  use to open the games? Is it an official screw driver or something? Also what do you use to whipe off after cleaned:)
