Disk II head cleaner?



Hi All

I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks. Time to speak up and ask my question.

I was just given an Apple IIe setup which includes a load of expansion cards and a pair of Disk II 5.25" floppy drives.

The computer has been in a factory for a few years so is pretty grimy. I'd like to give the Disk II's heads a clean before I put any disks in there.

Anyone know where I can get a 5.25" floppy drive head cleaner? I only seem to be able to find 3.5" ones online. I'm in the UK if it makes a difference.

If not, can anyone recommend an alternative (cotton swabs, isopropyl alcohol, something completely different?

Next step will be to get hold of some boot disks for the thing :-)

cheers
