No, there is no need to clean an optical mouse. If its not very responsive just blow the underside of the mouse to clear dust that might have collected near the sensor.

Please post questions with a meaningful title in future :)

If you are a gamer like me you would use nail polish remover.

Once a week pour some in a tissue and wipe down the feet of the mouse. It should make some noticeable difference.

Or you can eliminate the problem of build up's by purchasing mouse skates which are what gamers use.
