Passive brushes formed from plastics, rubbers or other suitable materials may be inserted into openings of aerial vehicles or other machines and subjected to excitation at natural frequencies of vibration of the passive brushes. Where surfaces of the passive brushes are in contact with surfaces of components that are fouled by dust, dirt, grime, or other substances, the vibration of the passive brushes resulting from the excitation causes the dust, dirt, grime or other substances to be released from such surfaces. The passive brushes may have dimensions or shapes that are selected to correspond to internal dimensions of the aerial vehicles or specific components, and may be formed by 3D printing, nanolithography, or in any other suitable manner.
