I've made my own brushes. Bought 4 of them at an art supply place;
washed them about 5 times, and they work well. Initially I bought
some sensor swabs, but was amazed at the price. I then bought some
pec pads to make my own, and still have material for about 200. They
work well with stubborn dust, but sometimes leaves looser stuff that
the brushes can remove. I also have a little compressed CO2 gizmo
that gets used occasionally.
On trips I now use the brushes and a little blower bulb. This does
well enough for most times, and airlines etc are OK with it.
