cleaning internal cd drive

I have a 2008 iMac. I'm trying to import some CDs to ITunes, but the cd drive is making an awful noise and it makes iTunes stop responding. The actual CDs are completely fine. How do I clean the internal cd drive? Can I use a CD cleaner that I would use on a regular CD player?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Go to your local office supply store (Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, etc...) and ask for a CD/DVD drive cleaning kit. Then follow the instructions on the kit.
