How do you clean the laser in a CD player?

I've never done this before but one of my CDP's isn't reading discs. I'd like to try giving it a good cleaning before I spend cash getting it looked at by a tech. The unit in question is a Kyocera 410cx, basic single disc front loading CDP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas! Jeff

Go to Radio Shack & buy their CD lens cleaning disc. It has carbon fibre brushes on the underside that cleans the laser lens.
As an addition, RS has put a bunch of test tracks on that CD that you can use to setup your system.
Lens cleaner CD is $20 or so, if memory serves me correctly.
FWIW.
