You have to use a dust brush. Move them, dust the shelves and the figures. Easy. I do it every month or so

Let them power up. The dust will be blown away for sure

Investing in a display case might be a different sort of solution if you want to avoid moving figures to dust every month

I used microfiber clothes like you used for cars. And just remove them, dust the shelves. And dust them individually

Slightly damp cloth wipe down of all surface after air blasting or dust brushing the items themselves

If you need to end up moving anything, 100% no bullshit, I use a soft bristle toothbrush with a bit of Dawn Dishsoap in warm water.

Rinse with running water and air dry.

No scratches, discoloration, or chipping. Works wonders.

I told my wife to buy me a make up blush brush she likes and i use that. Lol and canned air to blow the more sturdy stuff.

I use those cheap soft makeup brushes. They are like 1/2 euros max.

The Tamiya anti-static brush. It’s made for gundam model kits, but it’s perfect for dusting figures. It has long, soft bristles so it barely disturbs poses, and gets the job done.

You have to take each one a clean them with a wipe and dry. Once all your figures are dust free if you want to keep.them dust free you have to hit them with a compressed air or a mini blower. It's hard to keep figures that are out completely dust.free

I have a brush from Elevate displays but it’s basically a makeup brush. Works WONDERS.

Prends un pinceau à maquillage (poils doux) ou un chiffon microfibre. Bon après faut les nettoyer une à une. Le plus pénible c’est de nettoyer des lego... du coup on ne le fait plus, ça ne se voit pas x)

Dish soap, then use bidet to rinse, no brushing needed.

I just use a paint brush. Ones that are used to paint the wall, but not the biggest one.

Compressed air in a can to blow most of the dust off then a big soft make up brush does the trick with my collectables.

u/Donz32 3d ago

Thanks for the advice yall

u/Esoteric_Librarian 5d ago

Have we really come to this? Where the younger generations are so incompetent they don’t know how to dust ?

Because if you knew, you wouldn’t be asking . You cannot properly dust a shelf without moving stuff. Can’t be done
