I use a lint free cloth, usually for cleaning LCD screen or glasses, works a treat and doesn't leave any particles left behind. Cotton buds sometimes leave strands on the CPU, which can cause slight issues, but usually they're fine, just make sure there's no strands hanging off the one you're using.
