Cleaning Dust off of Vinyl

I've noticed that records in general attract a fair amount of dust. I was wondering if I could clean this off using my air compressor or if I need to purchase some type of cotton cloth. The air compressor would be easier with my setup now, but I don't know if that would be too rough on the vinyl.

Thanks

Use wipes or a vacuum cleaner, but be careful with such valious records.

SandPaper!!! I knew it had to be a ruse.

sorry about your post.

I use a Audioquest carbon fiber brush.I have a friend with the Gem Dandy and I plan on getting one. It works very well and is not stupid expensive like the record cleaning machines.

Nagaoka sticky roller.
Some people swear by it.

Works pretty good, but Smacky's dried out in 2 years time. (Probably because Smacky did not store it properly in the supplied air-tight box.)

Not cheap.

Before cleaning it, be sure of using an anti-static gun, if you have one, to neutralize dust.
