How to Clean MacBook Pro Mouse Button?

I accidentaly spilled a small amount of orange juice on my track pad. Just a tiny bit and it dripped into the main mouse button. Now each time I click the button I get an annoying stick out of it on just one side. It doesn't interfere with the operation of it, but just makes a really weird and annoying feel to the button compared to when it was new.

Do you guys know of any way to remove it and clean around it. I am sure if I could access it and clean the edges around it with an alcohol swab it would be like new.

I would really appreciate a diagram for instructions or accessing this.

Thanks a ton

You don't need alcohol. I'd try slightly wetting a small piece of paper (fold it) and working it into the opening then "wiping" it around. It will probably take several passes with a fresh scrap of paper each time.

It's not easy to open the machine or take the track pad apart. I'd try the paper wiping first.
 
This also happened to my macbook. Any diagrams of the button or information on taking the button off would be of great help.
