Unpopular opinion: A clean workspace prevents most avionics glitches

I was tracing an intermittent fault for days. Turns out, dust on a circuit board was the culprit. Now I make sure my bench is spotless before any job. Do you have a cleaning ritual for your work area?

That "dust on a circuit board" thing is a nightmare. What's your actual method for cleaning the boards themselves once you find the gunk? I'm always paranoid about just pushing the dust around into a worse spot.

Pushing dust around? Static shock from cleaning can kill the board faster.
