How do I prevent paper dust and file debris from accumulating inside lateral file cabinet drawers?

Paper dust accumulates in file drawer slide channels and can eventually gum up the bearing action — blow out drawer slides with compressed air annually and wipe down the drawer interior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid overstuffing drawers, which causes paper edges to rub against sides and generate more dust. If dust accumulation is a significant issue, consider drawer liner sheets (available from office supply vendors) that act as a sacrificial dust layer.
