In this article we explain how to clean and protect your Nintendo Switch so that it continues to function optimally.
How to Clean Your Nintendo Switch (Easy)
Perhaps the most important part of cleaning your Nintendo Switch is what not to do. You should never use any type of cleaning solution on your Switch’s screen, especially window cleaner or cleaning solutions that contain ammonia. These solutions can cause irreparable damage to your Nintendo Switch’s screen. You should also avoid using paper towels or abrasive cloths.
There’s little need to take as many precautions with the Joy Cons, but you should still avoid using any cleaning products. Water and a cloth should be enough to clean both controllers. Also, don’t forget to clean the sides of the Switch where the main unit connects to the controllers. Any buildup of dirt or dust in this area can cause connection issues.
The “switch” portion of the Nintendo Switch can cause its own problems. It’s important to be careful when lifting the Nintendo Switch out of the dock or placing it back into the dock. If you don’t make a perfectly vertical motion, you run the risk of scraping the display against the edge of the dock, potentially scratching the display.
