Cleaning the exterior of the PS3?? Help?? - Blu-ray Forum

PDick40 · 02-09-2008, 10:14 AM

Hey guys, just wanted to see if anybody knows of a good solution to use to clean the PS3. i took mine to a retailer to hook it up on an Sony XBR4 and i put it in my backpack. I didnt think anything of it until i took it out and i had some smudge/scratches on the PS3. I guess there was some dirt from my bball shoes or something leftover in the backpack. i tried wiping it off but it seemed to make it worse. i just want to have my sexy PS3 back. Anybody know of a good cleaning product to use on the PS3 material? thanks for the help.

peace

i don't remember what its called, but its spray used for cleaning LCD, computer and such items. you will find it at best buy i think its called monster something. I used to clean my PS3 every now and then. it really works.

Monster Cleaner. It's for t.v.s and such. But it may work.

Lord_Stewie · 02-09-2008, 12:34 PM

yup thanks that is the one i was talking about. It actually works great.

hopefully this helps.

For maintenance care, use a microfiber cloth for LCD/Plasma screens. It works well and you don't need to use any cleaning solutions for it. Just spray the cloth with water and wipe.

I use a combination of microfiber cloth and air-in-a-can on all my electronics.

the cloth does a good enough job

that would certainly be excessive lol

I have accepted that the PS3 is a dust magnet, and have moved on in life, haha. Seriously though, when I do get around to cleaning it, I find that Monster screen clean works great.

LOL - I don't "polish" it. I certainly don't spend my time "detailing" my PS3. But, it is a good idea to wipe off the dust.

Also, use the air in a can to blow out the dust from the side vents. You'de be surprised how much dust can gather in there.

The longer I can keep my PS3 alive - the better. If a simply dusting once in a while will help, then I'm all over it.
