Dust Off compressed air to get dust off of vinyl records



I have a decent record cleaner but wanted to see if anyone ever uses the dust off type compressed air canisters to deal with dust instead of a record brush (when not doing full clean between playings).  Any downsides to using dust off ? I have a number off diff brushes but sometimes I think they add static and/or don't get all the dust (sometimes I think they might add a bit of crackly sound to relatively clean records - i also might be crazy 🤓)

Another issue to be aware with when using compressed air is that you don't want the force of the compressed air to embed particles into the vinyl.  If you use compressed air, make sure you are hitting the record at an angle so the air is blowing things off, not pressing them into the vinyl.
