I assume you put it on a rag and wipe just the bottom of the extruder (the brass part). Any other tips?

I've also heard acetone helps, just make sure your nozzle is cols before using it. Acetone is highly flammable.

I have had a few weeks now and have done quite a bit of printing. The tip of the nozzle is getting kinda gunked up. I have cleaned the hole with the wire but the outside of the tip is dirty. Brushing with wire brush helps but it is still dirty. What is the best method to clean this or should I just leave it alone?
