Yeah, I really wish people would stop suggesting to clean out consoles as some sort of broad advice. The majority of people DO NOT have to clean their consoles out for most of their life.
If you need to clean your console out, you need to take a step back and seriously consider the hygiene of your room and how well ventilated it is because, if it's kept clean and/or well ventilated then this shit won't happen.
Well, eventually consoles do need a clean. Like my PS3 definitely needed one after a decade and doing it a bit sooner than 10 years is probably more ideal but yearly cleans if it isn't sucking up floor dust or cigarette smoke aren't needed. That can be a little more ideal for PCs but only kinda, more like the mesh filters and fans that could use a clean rather than taking everything apart which for consoles you gotta do for a proper clean.
My cousin complained about his PS3 cutting off..Opened it up..Cat hair and cigarette smoke caked in the whole ventilation area including the fan..It was definitely a fire hazard..I dont know how it turned on..In the end the laser was the only thing that needed to be replaced..

Especially if you live in a cigarette factory
