If you really want to clean it you'll have to put it apart. Just using canned air won't do much I'm afraid.

Once the mother board is free of static charge and leftover charge from capacitors you can clean it with isopropyl alcohol safely.

2 years of heavy use and daily transportation, my G750 still runs at steady temperatures. I don't think you are supposed to open Asus laptops, the cooling system should as far as I know be good enough to maintain the components.

1,5 years and 3/7 days I have it with me. Gets FULL of dust every 2-3 months. Depends on the environment which in my case is full of dust, not to say that I run it in high ambient temperatures and at high load. Therefore if I wouldn't have cleaned it this often it would have burnt long time ago. So depends on how and where you use it. You are not supposed to open it if you know nothing about what you're doing and you don't need it.
As for capacitors my best bet is around ~60 minutes with battery off - that much I always wait, I don't guarantee it. Anyway, I don't recommend using isopropyl on all the mother board, and not because of the charge, but that it might dissolve parts. My advice is to do it this way:
1) wait 1-2 hours since battery disconnected
2) take it apart and use a small painting brush to get the most of the dust out of every possible place; be gentle, better swipe it more times than once and hard - not the type for artistic painting, but those that you paint fences and gates with.
3) use canned air on all surfaces; dun spray from close distance, rather 30 cm or so - and read the instuctions on how to use the can properly
Isopropyl is very useful if you want to change the thermal paste off the cpu and gpu, but in doing so you WILL void your warranty. I for one did it and I an content with it. But it might not be the best thing for you. At least if you have good temps, no need to do it.
And if you open it up don't forget to discharge yourself of the static electricity that you most likely carry. It will instantly fry your laptop. How can you do that? Your simplest way is to touch a big thing made of metal. - here is something that might inspire you :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9T6WGFmam0
