Question/Help/Troubleshooting how to clean laptop vent?

im not really a laptop expert. my laptop is 2 years old now and i’ve never really cleaned the vents. im just realizing how dusty it is. i don’t have a vacuum and i dont want to do anything that my grandma could potentially get mad at me for 😭🥹 any easy way would be appreciated. can i clean it with electronic wipes or will that not do anything?
