I use those cans of compressed air that you can get from Maplins or on ebay. It's great for clearing out the fluff. Long cotton buds dipped in isopropyl alcohol (Maplins again) are excellent for cleaning the film path.

I use these types,and if you clean with ISO and cotton q-tips,lube the film path and gate as the ISO makes it dry and could damage your films or cause shuttering of the picture through friction.

If the end is like those shown in the picture,clip them back as close as you can to the nylon,I clip the first nylon ring off.
