Maybe I can keep this dust-free now

The photo shows a lovely carved box that Vince gave me before we were married. I keep our handkerchiefs in it. The only downside is that the box is hard to dust because of all the tiny indentations. I used to use an old toothbrush then run the end of the vacuum cleaner over it. However, Vince has bought a battery-operated car vacuum cleaner, a tiny little one, and it is ideal for sucking out the dust and fluff. It plugs into a USB slot and has a couple of different ‘heads’ on it. I can see myself getting a lot of use out of this. Edit: I can't add the photo at the moment. I'll try again later.

@JudyEv It has to be that way. Imagine investing in a vacuum cleaner just to clean that tiny box. Having said that why not anyway After all it was a gift of love and has lasted so long Go ahead

The cleaner is really for detailing the car but I have a few other plans for it too.

I have a very small vacuum cleaner that I plug into the computer USB, perfect to keep the keyboard clean.

@JudyEv Mine is very small, the size of a hand.

This is probably similar but it's marketed as good for detailing the interior of a car.

@LadyDuck Mine wouldn't be much bigger. The main part fits in my hand and it has a nozzle. There is a brush component which you can use just by pushing it up the nozzle.

I have one of those tiny vacuums... I've never found a good use for it. I'm glad you did. I hope you and Vince are having a lovely day.

@JudyEv I don't know. I use the big vacuum on the keyboard with the soft bristle brush.

I think this would work well on the keyboard too.

@DaddyEvil I'm sure that would be just as efficient but the small one is better for the carved box. It gets in the crevices better than the big one.

We have a nice little battery operated car vac which has some nice little attachments, which I can use inside as well as in the vehicles.

@judyev I got one of those vacuums recently. Useful for all sorts but very whiny

I didn't notice it whiny but it wasn't going for long.

I shall look for the photo. That is the problem with anything carved or with indents. Dusting is a nightmare

Yeah, there's a glitch on uploading photos. I hope they fix it soon. I do not like posting without pictures.

Yes, tiny vacuum can do the job.
