any idea? like what clothes should i use for surface? different cloth for screen? and use what solutions? water only or sabun? or neutrogena?

Well you can look for Scratch byte ot something, I dont remember the cloths name but it has a rising dots all over the cloth. Very good to clean dirty surface and screen.

I was also told that there is this water solution called IDrop or Iscreen or something. Basically Its an eye drop kind of thingy for ipod screen. you drop 2 drop on your screen. Rub it and your screen wont have any dust sticking around for quite some time. Or dirty finger.

are tissues an exception?

microfibre cloths are good.... or those that wipe your glasses is good... hori screen protector comes with a cloth.. that is quite ok.... if stubborn stains just "HAAAA HAAAA" the screen just to get those water condensation is enough.. hehe...

yeap, agree with firstknight. Microfibre cloths for spectacle/glass will do.

just damped (it's DAMP, NOT WET/DIP) the cloth with ur finger tip, then wipe the screen in circular form in 1 direction from 1 side to the other.

however b4 start, use a blower to make sure the screen is free from dust or any particles.... dun use mouth, 'cos ur saliva may stain the screen.

what about the shoulder buttons? mine's getting dirty, and i don't think microfibre cloths can do the job.

cooking oil is your solution (learned from zoro)

yeap, u r rite. Microfibre cloth is for the screen only.

For body, I use this:



this is a magic cloth, it can absorb all the oil+stain on the DS.! really amazing!

if got stucked dirt around the gapping area, i.e. shoulder btn, I use toothbrush (not the one u used it daily to brush ur teeth... ).

NOTE: DO NOT USE BRUSH ON THE GLOSSY SURFACE, U'LL SCRATCH THE CASE ONLY.

note: eh... SWAT, u may want to include the link, to avoid misleading steps.

I use the one for your glasses, in case you want it extra clean, I wash the cloth with soap before hand, the remaining soap residue from the first wash (as in the first rinse of the cloth) will clean the oil from your hands and whatnot. As for the screens, just do it with a slightly wet cloth.

Spit and clean XD

Nah, use those reading glasses cloth (as Yuki Ijuin mentioned).

I've lost mine (well, no difference, I don't have a DS now, lol)

I was waiting for someone to suggest this... anyways, here's the link before you do anything. http://nineoverten.blogspot.com/2007/03/ho...intendo-ds.html

another legendary reply

i use a blower to remove all dust from the screen and then put on a screen protector to prevent scratches from the stylus.

and becoz i'm very fussy about stains and smell and oily surfaces, i used to wipe the entire DS with baby wipes to sterilize it and remove the surface.

then i take a damp cloth to soak up and clean away the residue of the baby wipes. wipe again with soak up any water residue and leave the DS to air-dry.

have to be careful when wiping the LCD screen. If the edges wasn't so clean, i used to leave it be so that none of the water residue suddenly seeps into the small openings and damages the LCD.

i use that for the body too.

it's not that i have dirt in between the gaps in the shoulder buttons, it's the shoulder buttons themselves. they are changing colour, if u get what i mean. getting dirtier and dirtier. i think i'll try to use a damp cloth and *something* to try and clean them.

ur DS is white or pink oredi~ah?

I noticed pink and white (the lighter versions) got this problem... perhaps Phoenix/PM can confirmed on that.

yah, pink. the make is a soft, kinda velvety type summore. making it hard for people to want to clean the shoulder buttons

plastics are not stainproof so over time, water and sweat will seep into it. this is general for any plastic product.

light colored plastics will be more obvious than dark coloured ones but in the end, it'll probably discolor from the sweat or aging.

i don't think the shoulder buttons are made of plastic...............
