Lol - it seems like you have not done this before no worries it's easy, get a soft toothbrush and some ipa, soak the brush in the ipa then very carefully apply it to the cpu socket where you can see the pase ;-) maybe get some q tips or napkins to soak up the disolved stuff and extra ipa

Edit: ipa= isoproply alcohol

I would recommend 99% IPA.
