    I've notice that the seal doesn't completely cover the top where the aluminum meets the plastic. Thus there is a tiny hole that dusts can actually FALL into.
    THis is scary!

    Couldn't you use some sort of suction like a vacuum to get it out without touching it?

    Yeah you can also use a can of compressed air and just blow it out.
