My DVD/CD reader is getting worse at recognising CDs and DVDs - it now won't recognise my brand new Panasonic manual PFD CD.
Is this hardware? my MAC book is about 4 years old - or is there a way to clean the DVD slot?

You can buy a cd/dvd lens cleaning kit from any electronic store like Staples.

Choose the appropriate method.
Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive
If all else fails to get your Superdrive working properly, you can always save money on repairs,by just picking up an external USB DVD/CD writer for about $30 US and use that when you need to work with CD's.
Is not reading lots of CDs now....getting to be a big problem
