Hacking Dirty DS? Clean it up!

[5uck3rpunch]

Hey gang,

I admit it; I have OCD & I need to keep my black DS clean. It drives me NUTS

to have finger prints all over the thing. It's near impossible to keep clean...but now I have help!

One of my buddies was making fun of my neat habits & saw me cleaning the DS with expensive non static wipes for electronics. He suggested something better & CHEAPER!

He gave me a little package (that looks like a condom package) that has a "Lens Cleaning Wipe" for glasses in it. It works great!

I have been using them for a few weeks now I have seen no negative effects. They dry quickly, do not scratch the screens & do NOT leave any residue behind

. I use them on the screens & all over the glossy outside. It also works fine in the action areas like with the buttons & D-Pad. Hey, if they are gentle enough for lenses in your glasses then they should be OK for the DS & the DS screens.

They can be found in Wal-Mart

(I'm sure other stores have them) in the contact lens

/pharmacy area. The ones I use are by a company called "nice'nCLEAN" & I picked up a box of 30 for around $2 & change. They are small enough to stick 1 or 2 of them in your DS carrying case so you will always have one handy when needed!

I hope this info is useful for all of you other OCD types like me out there!

I just make sure I don't have dirty hands when playing my lites.....and wipe it down with the over-sized hori cleaning cloth maybe every 4-5 times I play the ds.

I clean my touch screen with Q-tip. One side a little wet (water), the other side dry. Works well and gets in corners better.

I made a pair of trousers by stitching together dozens of camera lens cleaning cloths. Now when my DS gets dirty I just rub it on my crotch. A cheap solution which satisfies my OCD and my nymphomania.

That's exactly what I was about to post; my Hori Cleaning Cloth does it's job really well for me too.

btw: LOL @ mthrnite!!
