Open it up and remove the ball.  Wipe the ball with a cloth.  Clean the
rollers with a wooden pencil WITH THE LEAD BROKEN OUT OF IT. 
This works really well, doesn't take much time or effort, or have to be
done often (only when it needs it.)  AND doesn't seem to hurt the rollers
at all.  ( I was amazed how it well clean the rollers without scratching
them.)
