Subject: Cleaning 5 1/4" drives

Any way to clean a 5 1/4" disc drive? in a way similar to a cleaning  
cassette for tape players or a cd cleaner for cd/dvd drives?
 
I have just repaired my old BBC B but i'm having a lot of problems getting  
any discs to read. *cat shows the contents but most of the programs wont work, 
i  get disc errors.
 
In fact so far only a format disc app has ran successfully and that was  
tetchy.
 
Mark.
