Subject: [Leica] Cleaning The Pressure Plate On A Thread Mount Leica

Does anyone have any recommendations on cleaning the
pressure plate on a thread mount Leica? Film run
through my IIIc is exhibiting horizontal scratches on
the outer (non-emulsion) side & I want to make sure
it's not a piece of dirt, etc. stuck on the pressure
plate (or somewhere else in that area). I've tried
using blasts from my "DustGun" canned air, but that
doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I've thought about
swiping a folded microfiber cloth through the narrow
slot, but haven't done so for fear of messing up any
sensitive parts (since you can't open the back, I'm
pretty much working blind).

Thanks in advance for any advice.
