[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1944840, member: 204485"] Used with [B]care/caution[/B] a domestic vacuum cleaner can be used but will seldom shift impacted dust. I occasionally use our vacuum on our MacBooks with the soft brush head fitted to lightly rub over the keyboard [B]with the "vent" open[/B]. The vent is the thing on the handle that lets air in. This minimises the suction while still removing loose debris/dust. If you use full suction you run the risk of [B]ripping the keys off.[/B] I then use the "crevice" tool along the back edge between the body and the screen where the fan exhausts, again [B]with the "vent" open[/B]. I recently had to have my MacBook Pro serviced and I did ask if it was dusty inside. The tech said it was fairly clean of dust but that could be entirely due to where I use it so, vacuuming may help a little, it certainly removes obvious dust on keyboards and in the ports on the sides, as for internally or the fans? I cannot say. However you do it care needs to be exercised but I personally have never had a problem with it. [/QUOTE]
