Effective way to clean the dust out of your Macbook Pro?

Lately the fan on my Macbook Pro has been running a lot much more often & it has been making a lot more noise; mainly because it is clogged with a lot of dust.


Is there an effective way to cleaning it out? If so, how? Be detailed as possible.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

I generally don't recommend those who haven't done it before to remove the bottom cover and administer self-repair.


Qtips and tiny paintbrushes is what we used at the laptop repair place to remove the caked on junk on the fan blades.


If a fan was removed by a authorized repairman to be cleaned, compressed air is used then Qtips with isoproply is used for a complete cleaning.


Its important to have your Apple store remove the caked on gunk on the blades causes stress to the fan hub and bearings which rapidly leads to the destruction of the fan, and if dead would cause your laptop to overheat. A leads to B leads to C.
