A qualified yes to your question....
A buildup of dirt may in time cause unwanted electrical contact and possibly spurious behaviour. This would be more likely if there was carbon or metal dust present; unlikely in normal domestic usage.
If you do want to clean, then I would strongly recommend using a proper 'air-duster' aerosol for stuff like fluff or if necessary a proprietary electronic cleaning solvent (eg Electrolube, which can be obtained from Maplin or Radiospares or a similar supplier). Do not attempt to brush the circuit board or use things like cotton buds as there is a high risk of causing mechanical damage to components.
Hope that is of some help...
Best regards,
Kevin
