Are there chemicals that could damage the camera/screen/USB port, what are the things one should I avoid when cleaning?

      I use a powered electronics cleaner that is capable of spraying dry air

          Yup! They are designed for electronics. DataVac is the big brand but I bought a cheap AirTec model on Amazon and it worked fine. There are plenty under 50 that have good reviews that are probably fine

            No argument there, but out of curiosity aren’t the cans of compressed air also designed for electronics?

              Not really, no. They are designed for cleaning in general, but that’s like saying “aren’t q tips designed for ears?”

                Huh weird. I always thought qtips were designed for ears. And I always see compressed air at microcenter. But consumers are often known for doing things wrong. And if something sells, it sells even if it is wrong.
