Yeah smoking inside is a filthy habit and a cat lol hairs everywhere.

People who smoke inside their houses

I need the video.

 

[BlitzerRadic]

yea... my dog also sheds like crazy (golden retriever) so our house is constantly a light layer of golden fur even with 2x roomba's going around pretty much 3x a day.

gross

I got my ps5 back in may so around 6 months ago. It sits in an open TV stand. Just to give you an idea of the environment my ps5 is in. My wife smokes cigs and we smoke some plant substances. We also have a medium haired cat. I am not the cleanest person but not a total slob either. To make a long story short, I decided to snap off the cover for the first time and was shocked at the hair and dust built up under the cover. A good vacuum with straighten it out but just some fellow gamer advice.

*warning * If this is your first time removing your cover Sony did a poor job at the cover remove system. YOu have to lift the corner by the PS5 sign and Pull up and to the left. The bad news is it's almost impossible not to scratch the black matted console itself when removing the cover.

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

Smoking inside your house sounds pretty fucking nasty. Smoking in general is nasty but inside where you live?

Most people who smoke don't mind the smell of smoke. Crazy

 

[Ulysses 31]

I use this when I'm not using the PS5.

Also got one for my XSX.

 

[rofif]

I bet 88% of ya'll don't even wash your belly button, no way a majority is gonna clean a console.

You think I can reach my belly button?

OP: Smoking inside!
OP: Not a total slob!

… well i hate to tell you

 

[adamsapple]

May be unrelated to what OP is asking.

But do any PS5 owners on GAF run their PS5's with the flaps off ? Just the console without the 'shell' ?

 

[EverydayBeast]

1 in 5 console hardware issues are from dust build up.

 

[Kupfer]

Have a PS5 sitting on its stand horizontally on a carpet since day 1. I removed the covers and looked inside 3 months ago when I installed the dark plates and nothing. Not a single hair, no dust or other dirt. I was glad to see this, because I had concerns about the PS5 laying on the carpet like that. I have no concerns no more. PC, PS3, PS4 and PS4 pro didn't get dusty or clogged either.
For me, not smoking inside and vacuuming three times a week does the job.

Why would you want to do this? You can't even use the stand without the panels.

 

[Mr Moose]

Cleaned mine a few weeks back with a PC blower thing and a hoover in the two dust vents, it was surprisingly clean. I don't smoke or have candles in my room, but it does get a bit dusty.

 

[mitch1971]

My dog sheds like a mother fucker I should probably open it up and clean it

Probably get the vet to do it.

 

[ParaSeoul]

I'm too scared I'm gonna break it to even get the covers off

 

[vpance]

Thanks for the reminder OP, just cleaned mine. Wasn't too bad at all for being out in the open and just had a bit of cat hair.

I'm too scared I'm gonna break it to even get the covers off

It's easy. The key is to slide the plates down after lifting a corner up.

I tried it,it bending feels weird. When I actually need to open it I'll go full force. Don't have a pet or smoke so I'm good.

I agree it does feel weird. But no big force is needed, just have slide it downwards with your other hand.

But yeah if you don't have a pet it's probably pretty clean in there.

Why the fuck would I wash my belly button?

If you leave it for a few months you can just rip out the matted waxy nugget that forms in one shot.

Work smarter not harder.

Those waxy nuggets are called sapien-ambergris and I make my living by selling it

Also enough lint for at least 3 christmas sweaters

 

[BlackM1st]

Or don't smoke, divorce and let your ex wife to keep your ex cat.

 

[LordOfChaos]

I don't smoke but have a cat and it was whistle clean in there after 8 months, I don't think I'll check again for a year.

Smokers always had the most gross PC insides, that kind of checks out. Vaporized tars and stuff in the air trap everything.

 

[FoundryMusic]

Granted, one shits on tables and one doesn't, so

One shits on tables and one looks shit on tables

I’ve cleaned it using the dust catchers once every 2 months and I took out the fan (won’t void warranty) after about six months to clean it and use canned air to get rid of any dust inside the system and on the heatsink.

I suggest everyone to do the same at least once a year to keep their PS5 healthy. Removing the dust before it settles is easier.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I mean, I smoke. I still think it makes your house smell like the lobby of a corner store pharmacy in 1986. Just do that shit outside, man.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Don't use vacuum cleaners on electronics, unless you have one that's specifically made for electronics cleaning.

 

[Yamisan]

A vacuum will kill the ps5 much quicker than any dust will.

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

I think it's gross, I only smoke weed and I usually dry herb vape it. Most smokers I know don't mind the smell of smoke.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Yeah, I mean. I don't mind it, but again, if you do it in your house, you get desensitized to the smell. Go into a house with owners that don't smoke, and light up a cigarette, the entire place will reek like cigarettes for an hour. Very very noticeable. That's what it's like for everyone who comes into your house, haha.

I used to smoke like a freight train in my house before I had kids, and I never noticed, but once you stop, you realize how much that shit clings to you. Same with pot, but I think that's a touch less caustic.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

I keep my house fairly clean but dust always comes back after a few hours. I don't know how they do it.

 

[xrnzaaas]

There's something called dust cover.

I use a piece of cloth for the PS4 & PS5. Unfortunately it's not possible for the Xbox as it stays active for instant-on functionality even you choose to turn it off. So in theory the console could get pretty warm if I covered it completely.

 

[Flutta]

Breh i have a cat . My PS5 is prob a mess inside.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

You use the dust cover If the console is turned off. Wouldn't make any sense otherwise.

Or do you want the console to overheat??

 

[Captain Toad]

Sounds like cleaning your PS5 is the least of your concerns.

 

[captainpat]

Came across this video on youtube. I'm hoping it's just a joke cause I can't imagine getting a ps5 that dirty in less than a year.
