Anyone got a simplified mirror cleaning guide?

I haven't had a chance to use my Skywatcher 10" Dob for years since I've been living overseas, but now I find myself marooned in Sydney for the foreseeable future (best place to be marooned!) with some excellent clear skies, I'd like to clean the mirror. There was dust on it which I attempted a year ago to remove with canned air; that wasn't a great idea.



I have no distilled water or anything, will I need it?


Would love your advice; if it's possible to do this project at home, I would like to get it done.


Naturally, I realize what a nightmare getting the mirror back in and collimated will be. One thing at a time, though!



Thanks in advance!
