GoKawiilGuide outlines safe methods for cleaning dust from a PlayStation 5
A maintenance guide explains how to clean a PlayStation 5's exterior and vents safely, recommending a soft cloth, cotton swabs, a soft brush and a small handheld vacuum or compressed air. It warns against using bleach, rubbing alcohol or industrial shop vacs, since Sony's safety guide notes these can discolor or degrade the console's ABS, polycarbonate and PC-ABS materials.
