I spent three months cleaning shutter blades with a toothbrush before a guy in Tacoma told me I was making it worse

Wait, does that mean the Tacoma guy actually fixed them or just told you to stop?

Oh man, did you get the grit and grime pushed deeper into the pivot points? That's the classic toothbrush mistake (I did it too, on my first house). You need a soft brush and a vacuum to pull the dirt out, not scrub it in. A detail brush for car interiors works way better, honestly. Just hold the vacuum hose right next to the brush as you go.

What about using canned air before you even start brushing?

Betty_perry24 is so right, my old keyboard still has beach sand in it from that same mistake!
