Nintendo Doesn’t Recommend To Wipe Switch With Alcohol


Nintendo Switch

These days, sanitizing and disinfecting have become mandatory. Anything we touch should be disinfected. This also refers to smartphones and mobile accessories. Moreover, these are the most commonly touched things. But to kill germs or bacteria on the surface of the mentioned products, the wipes and sanitizer should contain alcohol, at least 60%. Otherwise, anything we do will be useless. Here we get another question – is it safe to wipe our smartphones and mobile accessories out with sanitizers that contain alcohol? It turns out that not all mobile accessories can be sanitized in this way. Today, Nintendo Service’s new official Twitter channel issued an announcement saying that players should not try to disinfect the Switch host and Joy-Con handle with alcohol. This will cause the product to fade or deform!

Nintendo said in the announcement that since the Switch host and handle are plastic products if they are wiped with alcohol, it may cause the product to fade and deform. In addition, any alcohol-containing paper towels are not recommended for use. They can cause damage to the product as well.

This is quite important. But it’s also troublesome. We mean, during quarantine, many play games all day long. This is the only entertainment they have at home. In this sense, the Switch gaming console product launched by Nintendo is one of the most popular accessories for many users. It has two forms. It can be connected to a TV as a game console and can also form a handheld mode. Moreover, recently, the Switch game Gardening Mama 2: Forest Friends has become extremely popular. It has also driven the sales of Switch gaming consoles.
