for potentiometers I use Caig CaiLube pushbuttons and jacks (both 1/4" and XLR) get Caig De-oxit for faders, remove all the visable dust and use the CaiLube. in general, less is more with cleaning solvents and electronic circuits

| To sweep out dust from certain spots, I will sometimes use a fresh, unused wide paintbrush (without the paint of course). It's great for getting into crevices sometimes. |

remove the control knob and first clean around the base of the pot with a q-tip. Spray VERY minimally around the base and turn the pot its full rotation, back and forth a bunch to work it in. Let air dry. rinse, repeat. put the knob back on and you should be good to go.
