Cleaning the fans on my Helios 300

I'm about to buy a microfibre cloth and a compressed air can, are there any specifics on what kind of microfibre cloth or can I have to buy( like non-static ones or..?)

I plan to clean the keyboard first with the can and then proceeding to the fans, which I am troubled on how to clean it.

Are there any specific instruction on how to clean the fans? Do I hold the fans in place and spray the can on it or do I remove something before I can spray it? How do I spray it? Just taps or hold it down?

Should I position the laptop vertically and spray the can in an upright position? I have so many questions, I am sorry for I am not experienced in doing these kinds of things.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    You can use any microfiber cloth, soft tissue or a soft cloth, don't use any excessive detergent or any chemicals, just a warm wet cloth will be fine, use dust can in upright position and use them in short bursts, make sure the chemical liquid doesn't get in to your laptop, so you need to shake the can well before using, hold the can against the vent and apply short bursts.
