2 methods :
1. remove the unit, pour 3 oz or so of methanol thru the little brow light hole, swish around and empty. repeat. dry with moisture free compressed air.
2. find a small magnet that will fit thru the hole, wrap microfiber around it and secure with hot glue gun.
Soak it with methanol and move it around the inside lens with a second magnet wrapped in dry microfiber.

I used method 1 years ago and they are still clean.
