Probably true, but if it's as grubby inside as the OP indicated, he
might have some (cooking) grease fallout in there, and might want to
properly clean around the HV parts, using care not to zap himself...

Try the dust removal thing first.

I wouldn't use any solvent, some solvents will disolve the aquadag (graphite
coating) off the back of the tube and you don't want that dripping all over
the EHT circuits. Better just blow the loose dust out, and maybe give it a
light and careful brushing (with a plastic handled brush if you're afraid
of the EHT).
