dont worry so much. you'll be fine. just make sure you touch the case and if you use any liquids like water to wash anything make sure it completely dries.

I just use the central vac here, I just touch the metal on the case while I'm vacuuming stuff up. Never had any problems and I've cleaned some serious dust bunnies out like that.
