Dust in Instrument Cluster

What’s going on here.

How does this much dust get inside the instrument cluster?

I keep a very clean car, and this is just horrible by now.

Any way to get it out!?

Thanks. :|

only way is to remove from car, dismantle, clean and put back together. Cluster normally easy to remove, then should be clear how cover comes off.

The best thing that works on the outside of the cluster: swiffers. (Original)

If you need to take the cluster apart to get the dust out, wear gloves (without talc or cornstarch).

Then open up and use a swifter. Be careful using compressed air. Micro particles in the system will sand blast the crystal.
