Hacking DS Cleaning

[DownwardSpyral]

So I doubt I'm the only person who is anal about how clean his/her DS Lite is. I clean and even disinfect it once every 2 weeks on average. In any case, I have no idea how to clean the 2 white rubber feet on the bottom of the system, and they've managed to turn a goofy tinge of brownish-red. Any ideas?

Same here, lol.

I don't really know. But I'm crazy with keeping it clean too and scartch free. The biggest thing I hate about the White Lite is the rubber feet, any surface you play on will most likely color that its color.

Try rubbing the triggers with a dry finger or microfibre cloth.

Wow, I never even noticed those feet until I read this thread. heh

Mine turned a little red because of the inside of my jacket. Why aren't there any DS socks?

I dunno what to clean them with but I know what NOT to clean them with: do not use anything with alcohol in it. This is because the feet are made of rubber & when enough alcohol comes in contact with rubber it dries it out & then it cracks.

Maybe use a little "Simple Green" cleaning product? Here in the US, that is a pretty good cleaner & environmentally safe product. The only reason I say that is because if it's environmentally safe, it will probably not damage the rubber feet.

Arent they making a DS sock?

Thanks for the simple green suggestion 5uck3rpunch. Wonder how much the stuff is.

Game sell Mittens. There's no pic on the link but if they are the same as what I saw in store then they are the DSL equivalent of the (very expensive) iPod socks
