What should I use to clean the contacts on my carts?

Recommended Posts

NO there all wrong what you must do is. Get a bucket of water fille it add some soap, then throw all the dirty carteidges in there let them soak for about an hour. when you come back they will be clean, so they dry faster i would let them air dry or throw them in the laundry drayer and set it too high

Except for the cart labels going to mush, I bet you that the games would still work :ponder:

Well, I know you have to use rubbing alcohol, but at the CVS near me they had 70% Isopropyl and 91% Isopropyl. What one should I get? :ponder:

The 91%. Water promotes corrosion, so the less water the better.

No disrespect intended,ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!,some carts are pretty tightly sealed,they will let water in,but wont let it all out,which will corode them to nothing,and on top of that, that will destroy the labels.Water + electronics DONT mix,thats me though,DO WHAT THOU WILT.This is a joke right?
