What is the best to clean your electronic tube equipment  ?

 

Deep cleaning or dusting?

I use paint brushes and canned air for dusting.

For deep cleaning, where I'm disassembling, I'll use Isopropyl (75% or higher), old toothbrushes, rags, and paint brushes.

If I want to polish, I'll use synthetic liquid wax on a rag, apply and buff out with dry rag, this works for everything from PCB boards, to enclosures, to the tubes themselves, just be careful not to rub off the lettering, and make sure everything dries completely.
