I've noticed that a lot of you guys have glass display cases and that probably cuts down a lot on dust. I just have a bookshelf to display my toys/customs and I've noticed they're starting to collect dust. Any advice on what's the best cleaner to use for dust that won't ruin the toy or custom?

 

i gently blast them with an air compressor

 

I would just use a brush.

 

Just take the water hose to 'em  

 

Heh, that would work. =)

I've used the Pledge Dust cloths myself. Though, they do tend to snag on sharp edges. Dusting Cloth | Dust & Allergen Dry Cloths | Pledge® But it's like a Swiffer (which may work too, I just like these hand swipe versions), so you just run it over the surface to pick it all up. But like SG, I'm sure compressed air would be a viable solution if you don't want to pick them all up and do it by hand.

 

I use a fluffy paint brush this way I get in all the little spots and stuff and since the brush is soft the figures are safe, even customs which I have a few of.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions!

It'll pick it all up without leaving remains? Cool, I'll have to try that.

Naw, I don't mind doing them all by hand so long as the tool I'm using to clean them works well. This is another option I'll give a run through for also.

Wait, are you serious or kidding?  

Brush like Lambo mentioned or airbrush?

I used one of those air cans that they use to blow dust and dirt out of the inside of the computer. I got mixed results but I imagine that if I hadn't waited so long there wouldn't be as much build up. I'll give it another go for maintaining after I do a good solid dust over.

Again, thanx you guys for the tips/hints! Appreciate it.

 

An actual soft brush, preferably a hobby one that's never been used for paint.
