I heard compressed air cans are good or make up brushes with a soft bristle.

I'd be careful with those air cans. I don't remember why but sometimes they will freeze and ruin the spot your spraying.
I use a feather duster and me blowing the dust off with my lung power. Safest way. A lightly damp cloth works for me too.
