To clean your Nintendo Switch OLED screen and console, use a damp cloth and a dry microfiber cloth.
Here's a detailed guide:
- Power Off: Ensure your Nintendo Switch OLED is completely powered off before cleaning.
- Damp Cloth: Lightly dampen a soft, lint-free cloth (like microfiber) with distilled water. Avoid using excessive water, as you only want the cloth slightly damp.
- Gentle Wipe: Gently wipe the screen and console surfaces with the damp cloth. Apply minimal pressure.
- Dry with Microfiber: Immediately follow up with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any streaks and prevent water spots.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not use alcohol, harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or paper towels, as these can damage the screen and console. While diluted isopropyl alcohol might work in certain situations, it's best to avoid it to prevent potential damage.
Why This Method Works:
- Distilled Water: Distilled water is free from minerals and impurities that can leave streaks.
- Microfiber Cloth: Microfiber cloths are designed to trap dirt and oil without scratching the screen.
- Gentle Pressure: Excessive pressure can damage the OLED screen.
What to Avoid:
- Alcohol and Chemicals: These can strip the screen's coating and cause discoloration.
- Abrasive Cleaners: These can scratch the screen.
- Paper Towels: These can leave lint and potentially scratch the screen.
Important Considerations:
- If you are dealing with stubborn smudges or dirt, repeat the damp cloth and dry cloth process. Avoid using excessive force.
- Regular cleaning will help keep your Nintendo Switch OLED in good condition.
