Universal Dust Cleaning Gel (The Slime/Putty)
This is the most common product people think of when they hear "cleaning gel" today. It's a sticky, moldable, reusable compound (often called cleaning putty or slime) designed to pick up dust and dirt from intricate spaces.
- Function: It is designed to be pressed gently onto a surface, where it flows into small crevices, grabbing and trapping dust, crumbs, and hair. When peeled away, it leaves no sticky residue.
- Key Uses:
- Car Interiors: Cleaning air vents, cup holders, dashboard seams, and steering wheel texture.
- Electronics: Removing dirt and crumbs from between keyboard keys, printer grooves, and remote controls.
- Household Items: Getting dust out of phone speaker grills, fan grates, or intricate decorative items.
- Advantage: Its gelatinous form is perfect for hard-to-reach, delicate areas where a cloth or vacuum nozzle cannot effectively clean.
- Note: This type of gel is best for light dust and debris removal, not heavy, sticky, or wet messes. It should be stored in a cool, dry place and is reusable until it darkens significantly from captured dirt.
