Cleaning my ipod?

Hey, I know this doesnt really have anything to do with fixing ipods or stuff like that, btu does anyone know how to clean the outside of your ipod. Ive got huge smudge marks on it and finger prints. Also, my screen is really hard to see through because of all the scratches. I havent done anything to scratch it either. I got it a week ago. Any ideas?

There is a natural soap, "Dr. Bronner's", that cleans the dirt of the click wheel of the mini and the backside of the video ipod.
I suggest a soft cloth (a glasses cloth) for cleaning the video and paper towels for cleaning a dirty mini.
Mix a tiny amount of soap and water with cloth and clean video ipod front and back. This soap will not scratch the ipod (unless you use a harsh cloth).
To clean the mini use a paper towel and a bit of the soap and water. Don't push too hard on the wheel as you are cleaning it and don't get the mini wet! Get the paper towel super soapy if the wheel isn't coming clean and be gentle, rub the click wheel in a circle motion and be patient. It will look like new!!
Dr. Bronner's is located at any natural food store or store with a natural food selection... and is inexpensive.

  • Can i use lens cleaner spray to clean my ipod

    Can i use a lens cleaner spray to clean my ipod touch screen?

    Apple recommends against uing lens cleaning fluid because it will remove the oleophobic coating on the glass causing your fingerprints to show more.
    The recommend cleaning fluid is to slightly dampen the microfiber cloth with pure water only.

  • Is it okay to clean your iPod Touch with just a washcloth and clean water?

    I was just wondering if cleaning my iPod Touch with just water and a washcloth would be alright.  Is there something better to use thats free?

    A soft lint-free cloth is all that's recommended and usually all that is necessary. If you have some sort of material on the iPod that you can't get off with just a dry cloth, then you can use a damp - and by "damp" I really do mean damp; if you can squeeze any water out if it, it's too wet - cloth for just that material. It will be up to you to make sure that no liquid gets into the iPod.

  • Proper way to clean an iPod screen?

    It's not a huge deal, there's just a small smudge on my iPod Nano screen, you can't see it too well unless it's in the sunlight or somewhere bright. Is there an effective way to clean an iPod screen without damaging or scratching it?
    Thanks

    It was not like this when new. Definitely not a manufacturing problem. In fact, I just now noticed that there is what looks like a short hair stuck to the monitor screen, but it also will not come off with cleaning solution (or my nail ).
    The bright spots look like the clean spots you would get if you didn't clean your kitchen floor and then you clean one small spot. I think the bright spots are where some type of coating came off the screen.
    Resolution is 1440x900.

  • Clean My iPod Mini

    Darn!!!
    I am trying to find a sleeve for my iPod Mini, consequently, I found a sleeve that fitted my iPod Mini perfectly. However, when I took it out from the sleeve, my clickwheel is all brownish! Ah, the sleeve is dirty, but not visible.
    My question is, are there any cleaning methods to clean the clickwheel without damaging it; I tried alcohol.
    Note: I am thinking to buy a GoofOff Cleaner.
    Thanks.

    when cleaning your ipod mini go here and then go to the support section at the apple website.
    then go to manuals. then ipod mini. then scroll down to the cleaning section. it will tell u exactly what to do.

  • To clean the ipod nano

    Like most of you, I have an ipod nano that after a few days of just being in my pocket, got severely scratched up. It is black, and was really sexy when I took it out of the box, but immediately started getting hairline scratches. I really don't want to cover it with one of the Nano tubes, and I can't order one of those covers online because I don't have a credit card.
    I was wondering if the stuff you can buy to clean CD's would work? I found it was pretty good at removing the smaller scratches from a CD, so I thought about trying it here. I just don't want to try it and screw up my ipod even more.

    a cleaner won't repair the scratches but there was something called novise #2 or something that was included in another post that was a scratch repair formula. It would buff the scratches out. There was a post about a product called Novus #2 or something like that that the user claimed would repair scratches...

    might be something to look at (but at your own risk...)

  • How to Clean the iPod?

    I was wondering how you clean the metal panel on the back of the Nano. I used a tissue with soap and water and it got clean but I have heard people use metal wool to clean the back of their iPods in general.
    So how do you really clean the back of the iPod Nano?

    iPod touch
    To clean iPod touch, unplug all cables and turn off iPod touch (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPod touch.
    Hope this helps,
