How do people dust their systems?

There are some new hi-tech cloths (one I have is made by 3M) that pick up and hold dust very, very well. They (supposedly) hold dust in the interior of the weave so you're not rubbing the dust onto the surface you're dusting. They're used dry and are safe for CRT screens and hence any equipment surface. Hanky-sized, probably $3 a piece.

Geez, we REALLY need to get a life. Sitting in front of the the monitor discussing the ways we dust our gear. But seriously, every week I just dust with a feather duster. (Also, Billy Baggs makes a nice wool duster - you can check it out on his web site.) Every few weeks, I use the round soft brush attachment on a vacuum to clean the areas that dusters don't reach. Will.

I try to maintain the illusion of clean. So long as you don't disturb the dust it's fine. But once you touch it, you have to clean everything.

PLEASE just remember to be SUPER careful when dusting your turntable!! There are so many disaster stories (the subject of other threads on this site) stemming from the simple and sensible idea of cleaning up the turntable base but ending up in a DESTROYED cartridge. I speak from sad experience.

Interesting, different strokes for different folks. I use a product called “Dustin” manufactured by Sunshine Industries, Inc. It is similar to a feather duster however instead of feathers it has thousands of individual synthetic hairs that act as a non-allergenic duster with electrostatic action. It works great on my tube preamp and tube amp (both are open/no cover) also does wonders on solid state. Highly recommended!
