I'm also fine just taking things apart. i.e. the keyboard. No canned air, I just unscrew the top, pop-off all the key caps (they go through the washing machine), and again with the make-up brush and sensor blower thing.
Canned air always felt to me like a worse solution. It just blows stuff around, and in the case of some things can make stuff worse. It can blast all dust to the back of a heat sink where you can't remove it, or debris to under key caps where it causes problems.
Just never touch the small rounds caps on the motherboard, and never use a vacuum directly on the motherboard (you can, but the chances a split second uncontrolled movement boshes something is non-zero).
