Why would you have to clean it- unless the lens is dirty, but even do that on the outside.

The little wheel pops out, and you can use your fingers on the little black rollers

If the axle does not turn properly after cleaning the roller, to disassemble usually requires removing a label on the bottom. Rub your finger hard over the label, if you detect a hole under the sticker, that's where the screw is. This is generic information that applies to most mice and is not garrented to be the case on any specific mouse.
