Hi guys.
You might consider what I did.
Wiggle out the button, use a wash cloth, put a few oz's of cleaner (soft scrub or the like), on the cloth, (hold the cloth flat on a table top) hold face down on the button and rub. Cleaned my button back to like new. Cleaned the button with soap and water, dried well, then sprayed face of button with a shot of clear lacquer and let dry. Made sure face was oriented correctly and push it back home. Make sure you don't drop the spring. Total time, about ten minutes. Add about a good cup of coffee for drying time. Cost--nothing. I took the cleaner and cloth from mama's kitchen. She'll never know how the cloth got the black smudges on it, so will just chunk it in the washer.

Scrubbed the jelly button with tide, then used sandpaper to remove the black grime. It worked but was now 'blurry' and opaque. Decided I'd live with it, but as I superglued it back to the base, I noticed I got some on the front face. Typical sloppy me.
But then I noticed it was the only glossy part of the button. It illuminated the cool green jelly interior. So I took the glue's advice and got krazy. covered my finger with packing tape, slathered it with glue and proceeded to COVER THE FACE OF THE BUTTON WITH KRAZY GLUE. Quickly put a glass over it to protect it from dust as it dried...
VOI-f*ing-LA!
