Can I use a paintbrush to clean my pc?

Do I have to use a certain material on the brush to clean my computer? Or is it fine?

As long as it's powered down(and disconnected from power), then that's fine.

Yeah, just don't use a brush with paint on it.

Not sure how well a paint brush will clean it. I typically recommend an air compressor or can of air. Never a vacuum though as it creates static electricity.

I'm going to ground myself just in case.

Don't do it on carpet and take your shoes and socks off to limit static.

Yeah I am on a wooden floor.

btw, would a toothbrush be ok aswell? I think it should be ok if the paintbrush is.

An unused toothbrush will be fine, but as stated earlier, canned air is your best option and it is a couple of bucks for a can.
