Never used anything else than compressed air. I guess rubbing alcohol is good if you really want to have it as clean as day 1.

i work at a computer refurbish shop, and we use a painting brush + a vacum cleaner. the brush does not create any static electricity. just brush the motherboard.

Compressed air to blow out dusty things

Isopropyl alcohol to clean thermal paste if you want to replace a cooler or just replace the paste

Microfiber cloth if you want to polish things for ricing

If its a smoke filled PC, i'd wash everything in dishwasher or use a hose. Make sure completely dry before putting back together. Water won't hurt the PC. Or just be sensible and throw that disgusting shit away.

If just dusty PC, use air compressor. Higher PSI and you won't have to deal with shit squirting out of the canned air and coating your electronics.

>a good guide to recommend

Actually people will pay you to practice cleaning. I'm sure you could get 7.50/hr studying if you really put your heart into it.

I have a data vac handheld air compressor that I got as a gift that works very well. I also have a data vac vaccum that is designed for cleaning computers and printers that I got for $10 from my university's surplus store, that retails for almost $300.

Rubbing alcohol is useful for reapplying thermal paste.

At work we use a full sized air compressor in a room that has a fan and vent to pull all of the dust out of the room.

Just watch out for your compressor type, some cheap ass shit uses crap oil lubricant, and that could leave back a thin layer of residue on your components
