ABSTRACT:
An electrostatically activatable strip of mechanically chargeable, resilient, flexible material capable of retaining for at least twenty-five minutes, an electrostatic voltage sufficient to remove dust particles from the surface of a disk to be cleaned, the strip being softer than the disk to be cleaned. The strip is charged either by brushing or by separating it from a pressure sensitive adhesive surface. The strip is then passed over the disk to be cleaned, either manually or by mounting the strip radially across the disk and rotating the disk with respect thereto. Particularly favorable materials for the strip are silicone rubbers and latex rubbers having a Shore A durometer hardness of less than 100.
