I keep everything under blankets when not in use.

When I am working, all blankets off, everything turned on.
This can be for months.

During these work periods everything picks up dust and suffers from
toil and torment.

To mitigate this I use a long cat's tail duster made of some wonder material.
(not cats)

I also wipe everything off with a damp cloth. For wood surfaces I have some
piano cleaner made from coconut or mint or something. (not sure)

In the end, you have to use your tools to get work done. They will get messy,
they will eventually wear and need repair.

The maintenance of order is a constant effort. Chaos creates itself.

So, basically, yes I just brush it off and go.
