To be honest, you can get away with cleaning with tissue as long as its not the thick thermal gunk you're trying to get rid of.

the stuffs pretty cheap and id rather make sure i fully get all the gunk off

The Akasa stuff is good.

I have been known to use white spirit before - never a problem. Used it to clean up and place my xp120 on an overclocked opty 146. Lasts even longer than the Akasa stuff.

White spirit leaves an oily residue, ispropanol (isopropyl alcohol) is meant to better.

iso propyl alcohol all the way. last even longer, and can be used to clean just about everything you might need, I use it to clean up me mouse mat as well as chips.
