I would wash it in soapy water and rinse it and let it dry in a closed container. A cardboard box would work.

I usually use medical alcohol to clean up. After that I put those parts in some enclosed space. Few times I used wardrobe of my girlfriend :big_grin:
After the alcohol vapour parts are pretty clean. Sometimes I put alcohol with airbrush, sometimes with clean brush depending on surface.
(I have pretty experience with dust because our home is on such position)
