Title: dusting
Post by: kite200 on June 20, 2007, 08:25:17 pm
I just dusted my two famicom systems, my famicom / disk system and my twin. note that the famicom disk system pair has its own hudson rack for increased awesomeness. after dusting, I really realized how red the famicom is. its super 80's. does anyone know the name of the color and how do you guys dust your systems? I used some stupid swifer bullshit

I probably should clean the intestines of my NES, but so much to get under. :-\

I will do a decade cleaning when I need to replace the pins.

I keep my systems like new with some cleaning product called Cif (don't know the name in other countries). A damp cloth with Cif and then just a damp cloth to remove the residues gets rid of all the dirt and grime that accumulates over the years leaving the systems all nice and shiny again, though it won't remove the yellowing (that's a chemical reaction of the plastic with UV light).

Does it look like this?
Cif is quite major in Europe. I wonder if it's the same...

Yeas, it says mousse.
There's hair mousse and also chocolate mousse. It's only a term for a "something foamy".
