    cleaning nintendo ds screen?

    whats the best thing to use to clean the ds screen, even when using a lint free cloth I get smears across the screen, especially on the top screen. Is there an kind of special lcd cleaner that would remove these?

    thanks.

    Window cleaner works well for most people.

    Spray it on the cloth first, then apply to the screen. Dont use loads because it will run everywhere

    Oh, and it will not melt your screen like many mad people think

    I thought hydrochloric acid would be best, but like many people thought, it melted my screen.

    any particular type or is it all generally the same?

    Also can I use it on tissue or is that a bad idea?

    Just use a soft cloth, kitchen towel is fine.

    DO NOT use sand paper unless you want a matt/soft focus effect on all your games forever after.

    I bought a little kit for a tenner a while ago, case, extra pens etc. Also came with a cloth which is exactly the same type of cloth that comes with a pair of glasses. One wipe and its shinier then a new car

    I use the cheap Tesco stuff - never had an issue

    Wouldn't use tissue though, would probably fall to bits. Lint free clothes are always a winner for me
