All you need is a can of compressed air and may be a soft cloth along with some Isopropyl Alcohol.

Really? is it a special kind of compressed air, without the cold crap in it?

I purchased a vacuum cleaner extension kit designed for cleaning electronics. It has tiny heads (think 1/4" crevice tool) and I think it set me back $9.95. You can use compressed air sold at places like Staples or Radio Shack. In addition to a soft, lint free cloth, a box of Q-tips can come in handy. If you get very ambitious, a pencil eraser can be used to clean contacts. I generally use a special denatured alcohol designed for electronics cleaning, but Isoprophyl is fine, and believe it or not, Everclear 190 proof pure grain alcohol works very well.

It's just your normal air compressed can. Use short bursts to blow out the dust. The cold air from the can will evaporated real fast leaving no residue.
