Best way to wipe off the dust cleaning the gear

Cleaning the turntable and the amplifiers with the vacuum tubes sticking out of panels is quite tedious and time consuming for me.
I have to be really careful navigating the wiping cloth around the delicate tubes and turnable components. I wonder if there are any tools or tricks that could be used to simplify this unavoidable and repeating procedure.

The "best" way is to use the brush attachment on your vacuum. Any other way is simply pushing the dust around that isn't being picked up by the cloth or any other method. 

Obviously, you have to be extra careful around tube equipment/table and everything is powered off/unplugged.

If one can get sheep to mow a lawn, there's gotta be a way to get the critters in my place to earn their keep.
