Suggestion for duster for gallery setup

Trying to figure out something more economical that I use regularly for my gallery setup.

I blow through a 4 pack of Dust-Off Compressed Gas Duster about every 2 or 3 weeks, which are $9.99 or less at Sam's Club

A few years back, I bought an electric duster (DataVac ED500 Electric Duster Cleaner), thinking that would reduce my costs. While it works great for getting dust out of my computers and drying off wet toys that I have cleaned for galleries or eBay, it's too powerful to get rid of dust because it doesn't have a trigger that would allow short bursts like the dust-off dusters above.

Any economical suggestions or ideas? Tired of spending about $20 per month on these cans of air (about $240 per year). Thanks in advance!

Big ol Air cleaner to eliminate all but the finest particles before they hit your figures :D

That's also expensive which is your current issue, so not a good answer.

Toothbrush followed by cotton swabs covered by static cling sheeting at the tip are what I go with.

Use a desk fan to blow off the dust and a vaccum to suck it out of the air so u dun breathe it.
