ahh that is hardly anything... did you ever just try to blow it off and see if it came back?

I doubt chemiclean would be an issue, there isn't enough of it. I still wouldn't use it tho. Over 15 years and I have yet need it.
Yes, I blow it off whenever I notice it coming back but it always comes back. Sometimes it doesn’t completely come off but I can usually get most of it.

While your issue might not be enough to warrant use, to the original question I have used it with all those listed inverts at least a couple of times over the years with no I’ll effect, that being said I agree with others the cyano is not that bad

Do you dose vodka by any chance?

Ethanol from vodka can fuel cyano, and some people saw a reduction when switching to vinegar.
