I use a vacuum cleaner set to blow....

But compressed air works best.

I recently started taking my laptop to my factory .....

Thanks to the working environment, the powder and chemicals that deposit on the keyboard are not funny...

Also, where I live, i dont get any compressed air.

The one in a can? If not use a bike pump. Or, blow a balloon and use it as your compressed tank. Be creative!

Turn it upside down and shake it, works well enough for me :p. You may also want to blow out the intake and exhaust vents. My laptop gets quite dusty inside after a while.
