Cleaning a Laser Diode Window?

Can anyone recommend a method for cleaning a laser diode window? I have a 35 mw diode that has a few specks of dust on the window. I get some rings on the beam with out the lens in place. I believe the Mitsubishi 35 mw can operate without the lens. Well I hope so anyway. ;-) I have tried to clean it using a q-tip and alcohol but I can only change the dust pattern. Make it better or worse but not make it perfect. I have a spare diode but I would like to clean this one. If for nothing else but for the experience.
