What to use for simple dust cleaning?

[mysticrainman]

My area is dusty and while I have an airy Lian Li Lancool 2 cabinet, i can see dust on various components of my PC. I have the AMD heatsink fan as cooler, and there is no liquid spills.
Please suggest the right product i should use
1. NIKAVI ECC Electrical Contact Cleaner
2. Pidilite WD-40
3. Jakmister 600 W
4. Any other? (Please mention)

I use vaccum cleaner and will say does the job very neatly, no dust or leftover dust and just a simple clean cleaning!

How close or far away from the parts do you do it? Using Jakmister 600 W or something else

2 inch paint brush with long bristles. Its more than enough to clean dust off any computer related surface

time consuming I suppose

not really, it takes mere seconds to dust off the backside of a graphics card, I'd wager it will take same time as with a compressed can

I use a blower first and then a microfiber cloth to remove any leftover stubborn dust.

I don't have any blower but I use some smooth cloth to clean the dust and use brushes also to wipe the dust off the components and cabinet parts as well.

You can say using it closely on all components or with 1cm distance using 2 different attachments- the brush and the fine nozzle to get to every corner inside the cabinet.
Using Eureka forbes vacuum cleaner.

Eureka Forbes is the oldest vacuum cleaner in my view available in India.

True. We first bought the first model back in 80s.

My uncle bought in the late 90s. My aunt used to use this vacuum cleaner in her house.

Wasnt there a theory that using a vacuum cleaner and blower is bad for PC parts. Something on static electricity or those lines?

I'm aware of some static thing but unsure how such people actually use it on components. I'm using since a decade now but very delicately and carefully thus so far no damages or anything.
It all depends if someone is using vaccum cleaner like a toothbrush or a mop.

This is the most handy and worry-free tool. I still use it for cleaning so-so type dust but it also effective for extreme dust too but takes a toll on your palm.
When I plan to reapply thermal paste, after dismantling HSF and proccy, this is the go to tool to clean it neat before final assembly.

I use this for the delicate parts and it gets the job done for 90% of the parts. For items with no moving or delicate parts (like the heat sink or empty pc cabinet) I use the vacuum in blow mode.
