Laser cleaners do not clean dust from your PS2, they redistribute dust in potentially worse areas. It might work in the short term but in the long run it will push enough dirt under your lens cover to require laser disassembly. You think dust on top of your laser lens is a problem, wait until those little brushes push dirt inside your laser. So when your cleaner stops fixing your problem, you will know you now have a big problem.

I agree all consoles get dust build up inside. Regular use of a lens cleaner will help prevent dust build up on the lens. It does brush it off the lens although i have never heard of it brushing enough under the lens to damaging the laser sled or motor. If you dont do anything excessive dust will cause heating problems NTM if the cd cleaner pushes that much dust you have a serious living problem as well as a cloged up console and probably shouldnt own a ps2 . I regularly use lens cleaners along with keyboard spray. so far so good
