Unhappy Cleaning newt mirror?

Hey guys.

My 10" mirror is starting to look a bit dirty.. a few sessions of dew have left it a bit dirty looking, plus there's some dust and marks on it that are just crying to be cleaned off.

Now i've read about using distilled water and just rinsing the water and spotting it with a piece of paper towel to soak up the droplets, so that's fine, i'll do that.

What about actually taking the mirror out?

Do I have to touch the collimation screws at all (and the other 3 that lock it in place)?

Or do I need to undo the phillips head screws that circle the outside of the bottom rim?

What's going to stop it from falling on the ground?

Thanks guys appreciate your advice.
