StaceyPowers Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 I have a lot of dust in my PS5 vents. These vents are particularly huge, and as a result, I am worried that if I use canned air, it will just push the dust further in. If you have a PS5, how are you cleaning out those big vents without making things worse?
Boblee Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 You can check out this method and see if it's safe enough for you.
killamch89 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 I suspect you'd use a can of air. At least, that's what I always used on other consoles and it's always effective.
Head_Hunter Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 The same way I've been using to clean my PS4 that's same way I'll go about with my PS5 console, if I have one in the future.
Justin11 Posted February 12, 2022 Posted February 12, 2022 If I can maintain my PS3 console for so long, then it is understandable that I'll maintain my PS5 more, make sure it is at warmth temperature in a good condition.

Yeah, can of air works most of the time as it's what I believe that most people make use of even till today for their consoles.

I love how he use the canned air even though you don't need to, are they that cheap over there? They are so expensive here even the small cans are £5 which kinda sucks. I am curious how well those rubber or plastic dust blowers work, I've always been put off them but am very curious how well they work compared to canned air as they cost the same as canned air and yet last way longer.

I couldn't find them in the local super markets over here, so I am considering ordering it online so I can use it for cleaning and Xbox and PlayStation console.
Smokey Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 I take the side panels off and dust out the fans and vents with canned air at a slight distance. I feel like that's probably the best way to do it without completely disassembling the console.
Shortie Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 I don't have a PS5 myself but I do have an Xbox One X and an Xbox Series S and they both have vents on them that do get quite dusty, I find cleaning them out with canned air works best. I would never risk taking any of my consoles apart so the perfect solution is to do it that way. Also just wiping the tops and the sides down of the console with a dry duster can help as well.
Kane99 Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 Doesn't the PS5 open up kinda easily so that people can clean it easier? Or am I thinking of another console? Wish consoles made it easy to clean, but they make it so hard to do so because you can't open consoles without breaking the warranty seal. So you are stuck with the can of air option, but even so, you're just blowing dust further into the device too. I should dust my Xbox one for example, but I should open it up to clean it. But I don't know if I'd dare open up my Xbox one. I don't want to end up breaking it.
Shortie Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 I believe you can take off the side panels to dust out the PS5 but I am not sure if you can open anything else up easily as I do not have one so not able to check. I would be very wary myself taking too much apart from the console though to be honest as I would be worried about it not going back properly. Hopefully someone can confirm for us whether you can open anymore areas easily or if it's just the side panels.
