You need to pick up a spare machine check the thrift stores :)
I use my Dyson when I am all done cleaning mine. Hubby thinks I'm nuts, but it does pick up the little pieces that are left that you don't see/get. I also have a very small paint brush with little bristles that fits just right to "grab" what dust is in there. I'm really careful as to how far down I put it. I'll also put a small piece of tape on the end of the brush. The sticky side is out and it will grab dust really well too.
The man that cleaned my machine gave me TONS of little tips. lol
I've been searching around for a small vac,,,,one you would use for a computer or small parts, but have yet to find one. :(
