dust blower

Compressed air canister

A dust blower is a device that expels air to remove dust and debris from surfaces, particularly electronics, keyboards, and camera equipment.

Most commonly refers to canned compressed air or a rubber squeeze bulb used by photographers: I used a dust blower to clean the sensor.

The term also applies to electric blowers designed for the same purpose.
