Im trying to get into the habit of cleaning my pc every 4-6 months and its been 5 but I dont have any compressed air so I asked my parents if I could get some or an air blower but instead they asked me if I could just use and air mattress pump, and that makes a lot of sense since it does blow air out, but I just wanted to ask first to be careful.
 
Yeah you can. Just keep in mind that when you use something like that or is you use a vacuum cleaner in reverse with a small tip that you should watch out at what distance you blow the air in your computer.

You can use that air mattress pump. The principle is the same. Blow air in your computer to remove the dust.

Just dont pur that air mattress pump at like 1mm of your board trying to blow the air as hard as you can. It could deconnect cable and/or remove some small components on the board. Happened to me before once and I learned quickly.

I use a vacuum cleaner blowing the air in the case from a good distance. I then use some small tools to clean the fan.
