Don't use anything like brake cleaner because it will eat the mag bottom...

I suggest that you get a loading tool if you don't have one alread, and use it to help hold the follower button down to the lowest position while you swab out the insides of the mag with a soft lint free rag that has been wet down with CLP break free... This will help clean out the grease, and lubricate the insides at the same time. Don't ever remove an original mag bottom unless you are going to replace because it is broken or very loose... you will NEVER get it to fit back like it was when originally manufactured.

And don't sweat what you think are newbie questions... this forum is all about sharing information and educating the new generation of gun appreciators... no matter how old you are...

Us old-timers learn something new every day too.
