Dusting tube amp

[bajaed]

I know a lot of people recommend canned air, which I will use as step two, but I worry about blowing dust into the amp.

Does anyone use a small duster like a swiffer to dust the surface of the amp and maybe run lightly over and around the tubes to remove dust?

Paint brushes work fine :yes:

I'm a swifferer, but of course only when the tubes are cool.

I....carefully....use an old 100% cotton T-shirt.

When cold and unplugged, remove tubes and gently wipe down with old T shirt. Rest is rag where I can reach, alcohol and cotton swab in tight spaces. Let dry completely. When there is debris involved, I will cut the head off a q-tip and use the shaft to dislodge it - gently!

i use cheap paint brushes and acid brushes for the most part, usually with no cleaner or water.

I have a Bob Latino ST120. I got a tip from someone... Use a Silicone cloth they sell at gunsmiths to clean a gun. I don't get this on the tubes... But the steel and the trannys (Painted Black) I use it.
