We all know Consoles get dusty,Controllers get dirty and Discs get finger prints,food,etc on them...

I'm a Messy Person, i like to eat and drink while i play my games so my controller and discs havs food stuck to them so i have to clean atleast once a week.

So i would like to know how often do you clean your Gaming Setup?

Honestly though I do try to keep it all nice and clean, usually a do a weekly clean up around the house so a dust wipe of the tv + consoles comes hand in hand with that...

I clean the dust every/second day and I don't eat or drink when I play video games so the only think I have to worry about is that my DualShock doesn't become sweaty from my hands if I play too long or have to button mash :P

Like two others have already said, my gf does the cleaning in my house. I think she does a full house cleaning once a week, and in the middle of the week, she does lighter cleaning.

I blow the dust out of PC with compressed air every couple of months, you wouldn't believe how much it builds up.

Every couple of days. All my equipment is black, so the dust shows up easily.

I wash my hands before touching my controllers and I dust off my PS3 after every sitting and cover it with a cloth when not in use.

Cans.

I have small pices of foam (very thin) in front of my intake fans, and whilst it cuts down dust considerably, I still accumulate quite a lot of it :(

Compressed air is a god-send.

My PS3 and PC can get dusty, but I wipe them down. I usually love messy foods too, but avoid getting it on the controllers, so snack foods require a napkin for me to eat while gaming. Just this week my PS3 overheated and got a blinking light, so I vaccumed the whole thing in fear it could be permanent next time.

Once every two weeks. Pretty much just dust removal.
