A lot of commenters have suggested or asked about *air filters,* and *they don't work well* for me in practice. I have a couple fairly large, expensive, multi-stage filter units with pretty good airflow, and I've tried using them on normal days as well as during cleanup. They use too much energy to leave on all the time (not to mention that they're bulky and for me need to be put away when I'm filming) and they don't move enough air to deal with most of the large particulate matter before it settles. They're great for stuff like pollen or odors, but not good old dust.
Hello, I have enough sets of Lego built (especially sets of Star Wars, Creator and Technic) have taken a lot of dust. I have a professional airbrush with compressor with which I draw, can I clean them with the compressed air it generates? Is there any danger that the stickers will peel off? Is there a better system? Greetings and thank you.
@@brickworld7501 well, don't take my word for it but I think that highly depends on how hard/soft your brush is. If it's hard, then there are going to be minor scratches on the plastic over time. They will only be slightly visible though, I assume.
even when you're just cleaning and talking about the finer points of your hobby, your content is some of the most relaxing and enjoyable to listen to on this site
Throwback to the first 'How I deal with dust video', one of the gems that started this channel that's inspired hundreds of thousands to take care and create using Lego. Big thanks Jang from all the fans
I remember when I first joined TH-cam, we had just moved house (this was about 4 years ago) and I was sitting in my parents room scrolling through this new app I had discovered. TH-cam. Your channel was the first I had ever looked at, and I loved your videos! ⭐️✨ This brings back so much nostalgia for me because on that same day, the first video I ever liked on TH-cam, was your original cleaning video. 😂✨ Thank you for showing the world the beauty of Lego Jang, never stop doing what you do best! 😎⭐️
Lol, I was just cleaning my layout and I was questioning myself how to do it, and then you upload a new video. Thanks Jang for your time and effort for uploading this video!!
What I use to dust my LEGO sets I have on display is a makeup brush, it works really well to get in between each stud and remove it all. Thank you for the info and tips, Jang!
I usually put mine in the bed of my pickup truck and go through the car wash. Just kidding I ratchet strap it to the roof, because I don't have a truck.
Thats the key I think. Actually doing it once or twice a year. If you leave it for years it will much layered and caked on and much harder to remove I think.
I got a vacuum cleaner extension hose(looks like flexible garden hose) , which also has a few different brushes 1-2 cm wide. And cleaning studded surfaces is really easy, as the dust actually is removed and not just moved.
I go 3 days without dusting my halo display and theres a thick layer of dust. You're definitely amazing for being able to dust your display without considering an acrylic cover
I also found that those soft makeup brushes work well and don't pop pieces off so easily. Also not wearing shoes in the house really helps keep excess dirt and grossness off the floors.
Nice Vid great tips. Now you have cleaned, you could schedule cleaning but into sections so everything stays relatively clean looking and the work isnt as time consuming as doing it all at once.
I actually want to see a big construction site near the mountain or like a theme park there, but since it is a bay or some kind of an ocean, I guess you can make some space for the carousel for the city. Since you have a cleaner city, I guess you can put more buildings and try to make skyscrapers and some more trees. Thanks for the amazing video!
Great video thanks! I may suggest the big brushes for cosmetic use: their bristles are very soft and do not scratch the brick surface, which can be a major side effect of paint brushes if their bristles are too hard
Great Video Jang. Thank you for sharing. I have one of those motorized canned air things also. It is very annoying but it looks soooo much better than people who have caked on dust in their videos.
Interesting instructions on how to dust your Lego City, or any collection for that matter. Another thing to help prevent dust on your stuff, an air purifier, it could certainly help to pick up some the dust, but they can also be expensive, depending on the model.
Thanks for the tips. Covering your city to reduce dust seems like a very difficult job really. This might be weird, but I really missed the song used for this video. Haha.
Very helpful and great tips. My Lego City or small town, is easy because of the small size, I can't imagine how with a display of your size. I do cover my town but yes you are right it still gets dust. Thanks for the help.
I once came home after school and all my Lego was on the balcony, somehow wet/somehow dry. I asked my mother "what is that?" She said "I've decided to clean your Lego under the shower because I asked you to do it a thousand times, and you are doing nothing" xD Bro... I was lucky that nothing was "hurt" by the water.
good vid jangbricks. i have a (very) small town like yours but only maybe 1/10 in size 8+2 roadplates. 2 curves and 2 t-junctions and 2 crossings and 2 Straight road plates. and 2 older Straight road plates. the green roadsides.
I have always used a combination of soft brushes and an air compressor. Far cheaper than canned air. Brushing can scratch the plastic so a soft one needs to be used.
You should try to mount a brush on the back of a train car that can fit on the normal six wide rails, and, the thinner overhead rails, and just start the train up, and drive on all of the tracks a few times, and you can do other things while it does that
Cheers Jang for some good tips. I hate seeing dust on my Lego sets so I will definately be using some of your tips. Most of my sets are quite colourful so the dust isn't always as visible but on my few darker sets, my Batman stuff comes to mind, it can break my heart to see how fast dust collects on that 😭😂 I also finally bought myself that Creator Rollercoaster and I am already fearing the dust that will attract 🤐 so these tips come right on time
I always thought I'll never make a Lego city because I don't have enough money; turns out I'll never make a Lego city because I don't have as much patience for dusting as you do :')
I use makeup brushes. They are soft and come in all different sizes and shapes to get into the tough corners without scratching too much of the plastic.
You should try installing some HEPA Air Purifiers in each corner and let them run for an hour or two a day when youre not in there via a timer to help circulate air and trap more dust after youre done for the day.
Animationwizard I only notice dust on my builds once they’ve been sitting for a few months. I use it as a gauge to know how long something has survived
I am actually considering a system to refresh the air in my LEGO room with oudside air to create overpressure in the room but first running the air through small particle filters. By also running a part of the air in the room also through the same filters I also might get rid of dust that still does get into the LEGO room. That way I should create something like a "cleanroom". Am I nuts? 😂

Do you dust minifigures? Or other things outside of city? Also, thank you for the tips and one more question, do brushes scratch pieces?
Look into getting your duct work professionally cleaned, as this will definitely help with dust and it doesn't cost that much.
JANGBRiCKS I love watching your video

Imagine living in the city where mayor bans all city traffic on the Cleaning Day.
Imagine being plastic. *this meme was made by humanity*
9:09 poor yoda cant seem to get a break from those seagulls
Purple Fire rooking rocking and rolling down to the beach I’m strolling but those seagulls poke at my head not fun I said seagulls stop it now
Stop it now!
You have really good patience to do that
Thanos be like: how I clean dust from my city
General Kenobi, you are a bold one.
The fact that Obiwan just said that makes the joke 10x better

I love that you upload more about your city. It’s my favorite part of this channel, accept Jang of course 😉
Thanks for bringing back this old song you used for the background music, I missed hearing it in your videos
I'm very impressed that you only have to do this twice a year. You take very good care of your workplace. Great, informative video Jang!
Thats the key I think. Actually doing it once or twice a year. If you leave it for years it will much layered and caked on and much harder to remove I think.
Jang you are the lego Bob Ross
Dragonic mech totally
Do you do house calls? Great tips on the brushes and the bit of mesh in the head. Genius in fact!
I got a vacuum cleaner extension hose(looks like flexible garden hose) , which also has a few different brushes 1-2 cm wide.
And cleaning studded surfaces
is really easy, as the dust actually is removed and not just moved.

Love all the city videos we have been getting recently! Keep up the good work!
Honestly, this helps me so much because I'm in the process of making my own ninjago city and any way I can prevent/remove dust is helpful
I also found that those soft makeup brushes work well and don't pop pieces off so easily. Also not wearing shoes in the house really helps keep excess dirt and grossness off the floors.
I love you and the videos and the lego you inspired me to make anything thank you 😊
Thax for the likes
Anybody remember one of JANGs first big LEGO videos that had a similar topic to this? It was from 2015 I think, maybe 2014. Thanks JANGBRiCKS!
This has always been my biggest problem with long-term Lego display. Thanks for sharing your method.
This is EPIC!!!
Your collection is out of this world!!
I'm so impressed by your city!

Good video, very helpful. Funny really, I was just thinking to myself that I needed to dust my Lego collection. Thanks for the tips.
Your hand-vacuum sounds a bit like a TIE Fighter. 😂
neuuuuuuwwww pew pew
Thanks for the updated tutorial Jang!

I really love this video! I'm starting to build my own city. I was wondering if you could do a video about how you move lego
Somewhere 39k Mothers are saying, "So you won't pick up after yourself but you'll watch a 15 minute youtube video about cleaning?!?"
Always curious about how these layouts are kept clean - nice job.
Your voice is so soothing. It’s like Bob Ross with Lego
Dust is one of the reasons why I don't want to build big layouts. Thanks, Jang!
You should try to mount a brush on the back of a train car that can fit on the normal six wide rails, and, the thinner overhead rails, and just start the train up, and drive on all of the tracks a few times, and you can do other things while it does that
Just wanna let you know ur doing a great job keep up the good work you got a great hobby
I bet the government can't clean a whole city like Mr jang
Thanks for sharing Jang!

Thanks for the video it helped me in cleaning my lego star wars mocs
Wow. I'm not really into legos, but I found you for the Hogwarts Castle review. I, thoroughly, enjoy your videos. Subscribed.
I always thought I'll never make a Lego city because I don't have enough money; turns out I'll never make a Lego city because I don't have as much patience for dusting as you do :')
Thank you for remaking this video it was useful I will definitely clean my layout as soon as I can
They should make a duster for all types of bricks
I use makeup brushes. They are soft and come in all different sizes and shapes to get into the tough corners without scratching too much of the plastic.
Also, a good idea could be to divide the city into areas to clean one at a time, dividing the work. So doing a square tile every week, maybe.
9:01 those are some clean roads.
The sequel I needed
8:36 If that was seen out of context I would of had a small heart attack XD
But great tutorial on how to clean up much bigger layout Jang!
Very impressive setup
I use dust blasters for the little nooks and crannies
The dust bully, Jang Bricks.
I only use a toothbrush, but that's fine since I don't have any big layouts.
I wouldn't of been surprised if he just flooded the City with water then dried it with a hairdryer.
Actually sounds like a good idea
@@jorgeparra196 XD yes
My lego displays are going to be so much better now. Thank you.
How do you keep spiders out? I keep finding small spider webs around some big builds in my lego room
Put some signs around your city that say "spiders not welcome"
you need and exterminator friend
They might be cobwebs.
@@wr6676 cobwebs are still spider webs.
You should thank your spiders for doing some free cleaning on your sets and for bringing life to your Lego mini world
2 AM, and I am watching a video about dusting. What is wrong with me... At least it is a video from JangBricks.
You should try installing some HEPA Air Purifiers in each corner and let them run for an hour or two a day when youre not in there via a timer to help circulate air and trap more dust after youre done for the day.
4:22 "Blowing dust around just blows dust around." Hmm yes, the floor here is made out of floor.
Who else got tingles when Jang was brushing his Lego’s? 👌😄
Thanks jang that's going to help me clean my lego
Actually helpful 💎
That screen modification is genius.
Thanks Jang!
Wow this is genius. Just got back into lego collecting and was having a super hard time wiping the dust off with a wet wipe lol
I can here with my legos literally looking like an attic full of dust... THERE IS LITERALLY NO DUST ON THOSE ROAD MAN.
I like to save bags from the LEGO store and use them as covers on some sets. They’re LEGO branded and keep most dust off
Nice! This helped me much!
I hope you'll soon make some awesome buildings. :) You've got a lot space for it right now ;)
It's so weird how relaxing it is watching you dust your models lol
That’s a lot of work, nice job on dusting 👍
I dust my city then a day later it all comes back again
Animationwizard I only notice dust on my builds once they’ve been sitting for a few months. I use it as a gauge to know how long something has survived
I love lego !!!!!!!!!! Cool city
Jang - you should employ an automated LEGO street sweeper to loosen that dust up.
Yeeeeeea the old JANG-music! 👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
I read it as "Disgusting. All of this." and was very taken aback.
Hay jang have a look at Dust Daddy on JML, it is a vacuum with loads of small pipes, 👍
I am actually considering a system to refresh the air in my LEGO room with oudside air to create overpressure in the room but first running the air through small particle filters. By also running a part of the air in the room also through the same filters I also might get rid of dust that still does get into the LEGO room. That way I should create something like a "cleanroom". Am I nuts? 😂
I thought I had a problem with a few small set ups. I am feeling the anxiety building just thinking about dealing with this.
The true horror is that some dust will still remain
Thank you for the cleaning tips. Need to clean my displays.
Great work! I got tired watching you work. I don’t know how I’m going to clean my son’s display. LOL.
Hold up....once or twice a year!?!? Doing something right Jang. Awesome video, appreciate the tips!
I loved hearing the old " Jang theme" in this vid.
