How to clean your PCS statues

I'm very curious in how you guys clean your statues. I've had my street fighter PF's since the beginning and their clothes are getting quite dusty now and so are the statues as well. How do you clean them? Would love to know all of your thoughts and tips on this matter. I was thinking of just wiping them with a damp cloth, but would like to know if that would be okay before I do!

I know some of you keep them in glass cabinets, so dust probably wouldn't be an issue, but to the rest of you, please speak!

Actually dust definitely builds up in the cabinets too.

There's a page on the Bowen website that says the best thing to do is use a soft water colour brush and just lightly brush the dust off. So I have ordered one off amazon.

I was also thinking that a hair dryer set on cold could work well......just an idea I had.

Not sure about clothes.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Compressed air in aerosol can, microfiber cloth, and if needed a cosmetic brush, the kind used for blush on.

Sometimes I also use my spit. It's free and has lots of natural enzymes to break down caked on dust. Just kidding.

I tend to find that the best brush to use is one with fan-shaped bristles as they really get inside the nooks and crannies. Ideally, the bristles should be made of natural hair (horse hair or similar) as synthetic bristles can sometimes lightly scratch the paint.

Make-up brushes of similar shape work well, too; just make sure it's unused first, obviously. (Last thing you want is to give your statues a makeover. )

I also lightly run a lint roller over any fabric for any stubborn dust.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I use my old eye shadow brushes. I clean them 1st with water and soap and have them slightly damp to collect the dust better. Plus the brushes are soft since you use them on your face, so it doesn't damage the paint
