I also use eye lash brushes. Harbor Freight has a set of nifty little brushes. They hold up longer than the eye lash brushes but there is something about those eyelash brushes...
I use the canned air.....but I remove the faceplate and foot and blow from the back. Gets my chair a little fuzzy but it's not inside the machine anymore.
You can use a baby bugger squeeze thing to blow some of the lint out or an empty ketchup bottle with a pointy spout... At least that's what I give Wilbur...
