Clean the dust using normal coloring/painting brush and if you can get a air blower (don't use hair dryer) or a can of compressed air, that would help a lot.
Which cabby do you have?

I use a vacuum cleaner attached with a soft brush once a month.
Hard to reach areas I use a small hard brush to get the dust fall off.

isn't cleaning with a brush or cloth going to produce static charge?
all the hardware manuals warn specifically about that?

not the pure cotton ones

instead using high pressure air do cause charge effusion, like vacuum cleaning etc .
