What is the best way to clean the logic board on a MBP early 2011?

I don’t have the technical skills for starters. However I recently replaced the hardrive cable following the Ifixit detailed instructions and it worked. While i have it opened I noticed loads of dust on the logic board but not sure how to clean it without damaging it.. Thank you in advance

I use a small soft paint brush and a can of can’ed air. carefully brush the surfaces to loosen the stuck dust, use the can of can’ed air to push the debris away.

Thank you for your prompt response. One further question, does any can air can be used used? I read something about that some might provide static electricity. Thanks again

@gustgo Canned air can be used. Just don't use a vacuum because that will cause static electricity to become a problem.
