Your Best Way Of Cleaning Your PS3?

[Nakatomi Uk]

Alright whats everyone's way of cleaning there PS3 inside and out do you use...


Vac Cleaner & Duster
Vac Cleaner & Anti Static duster
Compressed Air & Duster
Open the dam thing and niggle at it's insides and admire
The list could go on I do the vac cleaner and Anti static duster with the PS3 switched off (no polish or other solvents) and when I am not using it I cover it up with a cover that I used for my PC keyboard and the vac cleaner on the fan openings.

With that in place it seems to have cut dust intake a lot but I aint been using my PS3 for a while now.

I use a microfiber cloth the ones use to clean LCD screens to clean the outside
and a can of compressed air while it running to clean the inside.

I use a t-shirt for cleaning my 60GB PS3 :D

not really in most cases....old 100% cotton undershirts make GREAT cloth rags...

[PXG S3]

Dry lint cloth and sometimes moist (not wet) cloth.

[Carsonal]

a little fuzzy blue cloth from an lcd cleaning pack.

[Magnum R/T]

Microfiber towel to dust it off. For fingerprints I use a tiny bit of windex on the towel to wipe off. To vaccum I used a Craftsman wet/dry vac...literally would suck the components out of the PS3 but at least it is clean.

[Emo-Mercenary]

I put mine in the dishwasher.. It was never the same since.

:(

[DEViANCE]

40gb ps3 can clean it self

[lintama]

I lick mine to a shiny gloss. Then gently buff it with a cotton towel.

[CFH_666]

Generally I use a cloth or duster here

[Windwalker]

I've never cleaned a console in my life; certainly not gonna start with my PS3. ;) My 360 on the other hand should be cleaned I guess. It needs all the help it can get to keep working.

[LC77]

Best thing I've found for cleaning the outside is spectacle lens cleaner and a soft cloth.

As for the insides, just a good suck with the hoover, which seems to have made it quiet once again.

[Cynder451]

i use a small cleaning cloth for the outside case of the ps3 and i use a weak vacume strong enough to get the dust out of the vents.

[Sventax]

Dry lint cloth and sometimes moist (not wet) cloth.

so eh...moist is not wet:suspect:




you mean a wrinst piece of fabric holding water, just enough for you to feel it's still wet? :snicker

[Wuzixi]

I use Q-tip for the small part example Memory card and usb port etc and the rest I use a small towel .

[jjlikesfootball]

Acid. a flamethrower, and liquid nitrogen for those hard to get places.














Actually, I just rub it off with a towel every day before I turn it off.

[MR_T]

i cant say ive ever cleaned my ps3, but judging from the thickness of the dust on the base of my tv id say its about due lol

[Mikbuster]

swiffer duster hands down

[MiNiMaL_sAnItY]

Best way of cleaning the ps3 is to

lick it

[Carl]

I just use a microfibre cloth i got for about £1 from Wilko's. Spray it lightly, and give it a quick wipe off before using a dry bit to dry it off :razz:

I haven't cleaned the dust out of it's insides yet, in the 14 months i've had it.

[boselecta]

[Moistdef]

Throw it in the washer and dryer.

I have the 40GB so I use the fan trick.

[Stoffinator]

I use a lint free cloth to keep the surface clean and use a vacuum to clean the vents. I also recommend taking the HDD out now and then. I did mine and it was just covered in dust in the bay and all around the drive.

[Surebrec]

you can repetitively remove the hard drive?

[Danny2304]

My hand for the dust :lol:

[Stoffinator]

you can repetitively remove the hard drive?

Its not something you have to do all the time. Just once every couple of months.

[fuzzypumpkins]

i have never cleaned my ps3

[F34R]

outside: Swiffer FTW !
I haven't opened up the case to clean the inside. Blowing air into the console is getting SOME of the dust out, sure.. but you're 99% just moving the old dust into new places inside the console lol. Blowing dust out while in a vacuum chamber maybe ?

[G60KG]

how often should you clean it?

[Hotdog]

to blow out the dust I use a hairdryer with a cold setting.

Please note that it is on cool and the heating element is not used.

Do not try with a dryer without cold air setting

[irish-sid]

I use some old ****e stained underpants to clean mine.
I dont care about the inside because i can't see it.

[shoryuken3]

i just use the cloth that came with my wayfareres :cool:

[uk-guy]

yes lens cleaner is very good for cleaning the ps3 you can pick the stuff up at the optometrists for a few pounds a bottle. never fails and no marks to date. Hoover at the back for a minute or so. first console i ever cleaned hmm and i have had a few since the early 80s think this might be the most expensive and the one i love the most.

[renegadevikingPS3]

One of those magnetized dusters that look like toilet plungers!

[A7MAD]

Microfiber towels and a very damp touch of water to the towel.

[Arjun Aura]

Lick It Clean every 1 hour...LOL :D

Use a microfibre cloth which came along with my HDTV....keeps em good. ;)

[scaramanga1973]

What is the "Fan Trick" for use with the 40g PS3's?

[Danny2304]

Turn your ps3 off then hold down the eject button whilst turning the power switch on at the back :) you should hear them blow

[Sam_From_Space]

Vac/Cloth, keeps it very clean, inside and out.

[ocmwpsycho-93]

i use a dust cloth to keep everything clean

[Joker86]

How do you clean the inside? i only do the outside like around the vents

[Carrib]

i use a swifter cloth, havent use a vac. yet... im too afraid, however i use the vac on the ps2 all the time lol . but ya i should vac the ps3 or get one of those compressed cans , .... argh i hate dust

[RoyalSkater]

I'm getting a cleaning rag now...

[Neo-Delta]

Turn your ps3 off then hold down the eject button whilst turning the power switch on at the back :) you should hear them blow


TIP: Don't do that.It's tricking the system into thinking its overheating. It weakens the fans.

[konman]

I masturbate off for about 15 min and use the sweat from my balls to clean it.

[A7X_Elite_6661]

Water hose and soap!!!!

Normally a 100% cotton shirt, Ripped up for cleaning rags.
