 And it will work better on mouse balls. 
The stuff was really designed for Printer Rollers. And it does a great
job unless you let them go too long inbetween cleanings. For their Ink
Jet Printers some years back, In the early years of the Ink Jet, Hewlett
Packard actualy make a "Roller Cleaning Kit' that included a Scotch
Brite pad on a special frame that you inserted into the Printer and you
used a small software program that ran the paper feed rollers.
But nothing that drastic should be needed for a Mouse Ball.
