A common misconception is that any contact inside a laptop will cause it to burst into flame, so don't worry too much, just use the same caution you would with a desktop and you'll be fine. If you remove all the screws on the bottom of the laptop, you can usually open the case up enough for the purpose of cleaning it out. Don't worry about getting it to separate, you just need access inside to blow the dirt out. Most of your effort should be cleaning the heatsink and fans, since that's where your trouble likely is.

Yeah, I'd recommend his suggestion, as my old laptop once started to heat up pretty bad that I actually tried to cool it down with a bag of ice. :lol:
But after I blew/cleaned the fan and heatsink, all was well.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
