Like any mobility apparatus, such as car, airplane, the craft gets dirtied, and debri goes inside from the air intake gimbal exposed, smudges from fingers onto piezo sensors, and wherever else it can lodge residence.
Do you just jet cannister air to gently blow off the residual? Or use camera optic brush to clear away residual?
There are delicate interior parts which can be disrupted by jet or brush cleaning attempts?
Walmart sells 16ounce electronic instant contact cleaner zero residue safe for all material includes rubber and all plastics. But it will clean any factory lubricant (blower axle bearing) in craft. Purge inert nitrogen upon cleanse to remove condensate internals else vacuum from gimbal intake at reduced vacuum suction? Is this prudent maintenance? Or invitation to complications?

just wipe the out side with a soft cloth be careful around the gimbal so as not to damage the cables i use a puffer air blower to gently blow through the motors and the sensor lenses as you clean it check for any damage to motors props and do not use any type of solvent cleaners

Okay none surfactants chemistry, only soft microfiber cloth none dampened. Nooks crannies won't get clean, analogous to car emblem logo casted chromed harboring grit grime polish. Maybe woman's makeup brush can be used to clean nook crannies?
