Abstract: A computer mouse ball cleaner generally having a tong-like shape with two elongated parallel prongs that are affixed together at a handle end is made of rigid plastic. Each prong has a circular opening that is about the size of the conventional mouse ball and the openings are in registry. The mouse ball is placed between folds of a cleaning cloth and positioned within the openings of the cleaner. The user then pulls on the cleaner, while retaining the cleaning cloth. Accordingly, as the user pulls on the cloth, the ball is retained within the openings so that the cloth rubs over the ball. The rubbing action operates to clean the surface of the ball.
