Those cheap greenies lenses are plastic you would need to be very careful cleaning those and alcohol might have made it worse, take some pics and we shall see if it has a plastic or glass for a lens.

Where are you located? What kind of laser? What color? When did the problem start? photos photos photos!

The information you gave us doesn't help much. Its like saying "Help! My car doesn't start!"
What kind if car? How old is it? And so on.

Right now photos would be the BEST thing you could provide.

You probably dont need to unless you managed to damage this one somehow. It looks like the lens might be glass. Just run it under HOT water for a few minutes and dab the excess away with a q-tip. You can alternatively use professional lens cleaner to clean the lens. You probably will never get the lens 100% clean "ever".

You see the two holes on the front of the module? Those are spanner wrench holes. You can improvise a wrench with a paperclip or tweesers or something. Just be VERY careful you do not scratch that lens. If you DO scratch it.. I promise you will regret ever trying to clean the lens.
