To deep clean your PS5, start by powering it off and unplugging all cables. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the exterior. For vents and hard-to-reach areas, use compressed air to blow out dust gently. For the controller, lightly dampen a cloth with isopropyl alcohol and wipe it down, avoiding the charging port. Replace the controller's analog stick covers if they're worn out. Always keep liquids away from the console and avoid inserting anything into the ports or openings. Never open the console's housing as it can void the warranty.
