Grading cleaning?

Hi, i want to send card to grade but should i remove the dust or little hairs on my cards before sending them to gradation, does psa or cgc remove all the little imperfection that are not on the card ? can it affect the grading ?
thanks

PSA does not clean your card off if there’s dust or specks on it. I sent in a card that had a few flecks on it that I forgot to clean and it was encapsulated like that. Gently brush your card off before sending it in.

thanks for feedback, i will clean them :smiley:

Yesterday I used a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol to clean some surfaces. Apply light amounts, dry it quickly and keep liquid away from the edges
