    Unlock the retainer on the bottom of the mouse by moving it in the direction  indicated by the arrow on the retainer.

    
   

4.  Turn the mouse right-side up, and the retainer and ball will drop out.
5.  Wash the ball in warm, soapy water, and dry it well.
6.  Using a damp cloth, wipe the outside of the mouse and the retainer.
    Be sure to wipe the rollers inside the mouse.
