Keeping your kit clean.

For dust a paint brush does the trick quite perfectly.. Otherwise canned air..

Yup, I actually use a horsehair barber brush. I find less hairs falling out and the bristles are more forgiving to polished surfaces. Otherwise microfiber. Canned air sometimes but the bittering additive to keep huffers away from ruining their brains leaves a residue on rubberized knobs that in turn gets on my fingertips eventually make it to my mouth. Yuck.
I don not use window cleaner but an alcohol based wipe for spills and cough spots. I only clean my junk once a month...pillow cases to cover my gear when not in use.

Word to the lint free cloth, but I just use a dry cotton wash cloth. I like my musical equipment to have some character to it, a scratch or chip just makes it mine, but grime and abject filth is gross.

I think you could get one really cheap. Just get a bit of black board and cut it into the right size. Use some glue and there it is the custom designed, perfectly fitting and clean looking decksaver I was thinking of building one for my S4 as the original one costs about 40 bucks. Quite expensive for a piece of plastic I guess...

That Cyber Clean gear looks perfect for cleaning a mixer. I bet it does a BLINDING job on vinyl, too.

I use 3 things to keep my stuff clean:

A small handled duster
A paintbrush
Microfibre cloths

I'll be adding Cyber Clean to that soon.

It does work awesome on vinyl. I should post of picture of a before and after on the black pads of an MPD. The difference is amazing, makes it look like it just came out of the box. I use it on alot of my electronics including my cellphone and mp3 player. Gets the hard to reach spots. plus its reusable for a couple of months. no residue leftover. Highly recommended.

Micro Fiber Towels. Lifts dust and if machine washable. Can't go wrong. Great for computer screens too.

little OT but still relevant

I have found that keeping a towel on top of the gear when not in use helps keep the dust levels down. Having 3 deck savers would be a PITA to remove and put back every time I wanted to use my gear.

For beer spills etc, I think a sign should do, something along the lines of:

"If you fuck with my gear,I'll fuck with your will to live."
