Are you wondering how to give your Nintendo Switch a good clean? Keeping it clean not only makes it look great, but it can also improve its performance. Let’s dive into the easiest and safest way to keep your Switch sparkling!

Cleaning your Nintendo Switch might seem tricky, but it’s really very simple. Whether you’re trying to get rid of dust, fingerprints, or those mystery smudges, we’ve got you covered.

Short and Sweet: Keeping Your Switch Sparkly

The key to cleaning your Nintendo Switch is to be gentle and use the right materials. You’ll want to start with a soft, lint-free cloth, like a microfiber cleaning cloth. Turn your Switch off and gently wipe the screen and body to remove dust and fingerprints. For tougher grime, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a 50/50 mix of water and isopropyl alcohol. Make sure the cloth is not too wet to avoid water damage.

For areas like the Joy-Con railings and button crevices, use a dry, soft-bristled brush (like a new, clean toothbrush) to gently loosen dirt. Compressed air can also help blow away dust from hard-to-reach places, but use it sparingly and from a distance to avoid moisture damage. Remember, never use harsh chemicals or submerge your Switch in water!
