Summary
- This Nintendo Switch user cleaned their console with 91 percent rubbing alcohol, which tore away the unique Tears of the Kingdom pattern.
- Official Nintendo advice recommends 70 percent alcohol for cleaning to avoid such a scenario.
If you've forked out on a fancy 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch OLED themed around your favourite game, whether that's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Animal Crossing or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Legend of Zelda, odds are you'll want to keep it clean. Just make sure you're not going overboard.
As one 💞unfortunate fan found out, using too strong a rubbing alcohol can tear away the original designs⛦ that make these consoles unique to begin with. "Ruined this beauty today," they posted on Reddit. "We use 91 percent rubbing alcohol to clean all of our electronics, and have never had an issue before.
We're currently in mourning and debating on buying another TOTK Switch.
"Didn't expect it to completely take off the design. We're currently in mourning and debating on buying 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:another TOTK Switch just for the backplate, unless someone knows where to buy a re💮placement one with this design".
Nintendo Has Some Advice
On the official Nintendo website, there's a support page about cleaning and disinfecting the Switch, joy-con controllers, and other accessories. It stresses that you should "Lightly apply a consumer-grade disinfectant containing about 70 percent alcohol to a soft clean cloth".
Obviously, 91 percent is a lot higher than the recommended amount, so it's no wonder that the pattern was stripped off. The original poster said that they only had this specific rubbing alcohol to hand and "didn't expect it to get on the back of the Switch", but that they're going to try and use 70 percent on what's left to see if the advice rings true.
168澳洲🍨幸运5开奖网: Is The Nintendo Switch OLED Worth It?
With the Switch 2 releas💮ing somewhere in the near future, shꦑould you invest in a Switch OLED?
But as others have suggested, using rubbing alcohol on the Switch itself is overkill. "There's no reason to use anything other than water on the outside of electronics, as long as you are careful and keeping it away from ports and buttons. Alcohol should only be used to clean in and around ports, buttons and internals."
So, if you want to deep clean your expensive OLED and have one of those unique patterns, don't use rubbing alcohol. Odds are you'll pour that money down the drain.
