...from the ouside of cameras. What's the consensus on this?
I've been keeping some lesser used cameras and lenses on a table, uncovered, in a mostly sunlit room. This, in an effort to keep the spectre of mold/fungus at bay.
However, I find that I'm now dealing with a light coating of dust on the gear. I'd like to take a Swiffer cloth to the hardware, but I'm not sure if the cloths are impregnated with any type of detergent/lubricant.
A few years ago I tried a swiffer on CRT. I found it left behind some sort of streaking/whatever, which came off with Windex.
Opinions, alternatives, anyone?

A clarification on my previous post:
I'm wary of using canned (or other forced air) to blow the dust off, because I don't want to blow dust INTO the helicals and other small spaces like that.

I would prefer a soft brush. i might resort to canned air to get into spaces where the brush can't reach, once the major part of the dust has been removed. |
