The preferable way is to take it to a professional to prevent any serious damage, but you can use the same cleaning kit you would use for a DVD player. I would try not to over do it because the eye to a PS2 are much more sensitive than a regular DVD player.

You can buy laser cleaners at any electronics store or even walmart. It is a disc with bristles on it. You put it in and play the disc.

Very Carefully. If you can get a cleaning cloth to run over it, do it very gently. If you press to hard the eye will become unaligned and you will have a bigger problem. Contact the manufacturer for any recommendations or send it to them to get cleaned.

Take a piece of cloth dampened in semi-hot water with some soft soap. Gently clean the eye and rinse it with some other piece of cloth. Dry it well!

First, you remove the screw covers and unscrew the screws. Then you carefully remove the shell and lens cover. Use a q-tip and rubbing alcohol and carefully wipe the lens.

There are many cleaning kits that you can buy that contain a special disc that has a soft brush on it that will clean the lens. It's not a good idea to attempt and clean it on your own.
