Default PC Gun Cleaning

I powder coated for the first time yesterday. The items came out pretty good. Some of the parts didn't have good coverage (thin areas) but other than that it came out great. My booth worked very well to contain the powder. However, I made a huge dust cloud when I went to clean the gun. Does anyone have any gun cleaning tips?
thanks
Joe

Do you have a filter/fan in your booth? I would blow it off in the booth.

I do have a filter/fan in the booth and it does a good job while i'm spraying. However it just doesn't have enough power to pull the dust when i blow the gun off. I guess my best bet is just stepping outside.
