That's a very kind offer, but I think I'll give the hard work way a go  
first of all, mainly because it sounds pretty interesting.  Do you mind if  
I give you a shout at a later date if I get stuck?

Just to kind of wrap up this thread, I found that 5.25" floppy cleaning  
kits are still available in the UK at Radio Spares (http://rswww.com),  
item number 201-203, ￜ25.95 a go.  I'd tried as many online  
computer/electronic/stationery stores as I could think of, as well as  
searching the web in general without finding this place.  I considered  
going in with the swabs and alcohol, but I think I'm going to go for the  
cleaning kit, because it'll be handy for my BBC Micro setup too.

Thanks for the warnings about the single/double sided drives too.
