How to properly clean your Oculus Quest headset and controllers

UncategorizedNewsInfoBlog

Your Oculus Quest headset and controllers come into regular and lasting contact with two things that harbor a lot of bacteria: your face and your hands. Said body parts also produce sweat and oils that aren't all that great for electronic hardware.

So with the dust, coffee spills, food bits, and other things that could probably be found in and around your VR playing area, occasional cleaning is a must. Fortunately, it's also easy.

All you need is a clean, dry cloth that doesn't produce lint, some gentle antibacterial wipes, and a microfiber lens cloth. You might also need a few drops of lens cleaner if your lenses have become extremely grimy.

To clean your Oculus Quest headset, use a dry cloth to wipe down the exterior and antibacterial wipes to wipe down the parts that come in contact with your head, which are basically the head straps and foam within the headset itself.

To clean your lenses, use a microfiber lens cloth and work in a spiraling pattern outward from the center of each lens. If you must use a cleaner, apply a few drops of a dedicated lens cleaning solution to the cloth, not directly to the lenses, and follow the same wiping pattern.

Lastly, you can clean your controllers with antibacterial wipes followed by a dry cloth.
