Best way to wipe off the dust cleaning the gear

Cleaning the turntable and the amplifiers with the vacuum tubes sticking out of panels is quite tedious and time consuming for me.
I have to be really careful navigating the wiping cloth around the delicate tubes and turnable components. I wonder if there are any tools or tricks that could be used to simplify this unavoidable and repeating procedure.

Anything that can be waxed is waxed everything else is cleaned with clean micro fiber rags. They have to be clean.
Wash them with NO SOAP and dry them. I cover EVERYTHING. 
Silk is what I use. WHY?

It does not hold dust
It is mold and water resistant.
It does NOT scratch when removing
When its cut it does not FRAY, that's right it will hold an edge and NOT FRAY. 

I can cut a cover in 5 minutes that drapes, the wife can sew one in 45 minutes that is fitted...

I have silks that are over 100 years old. Beautiful...

1. Wax, all the chrome and paint and nothing will sticks.. Just blow it off with your breath

2. Micro fibers

3. Soft china bristle brushes

4. Soft brush with suction

5. Keep them covered with silks..
