$39.99 from Best Buy thats if you live in the Usa otherwise if you are Australian, I would say somewhere like JBHifi or something like that could stock a similar product.

but would my method still help clearing the fan?

If there's dust around the fan then yes, it would help. Also moved thread to more appropriate section.

It's worth a shot, but focusing on the video you posted. My Dad's friend owns a local computer store, and the techs there actually use a small air compressor to blow out dust buildups. In my opinion, it's less of a risk to bring it to a computer expert and see what they're willing to do rather than using household shock vac.

Idk if this will work on your laptop but iv seen a cooling thing you set on your laptop and it has a fan on it. it connects to the computer.
