How to clean GameCube controllers

controllersnintendo-gamecube

It’s hard/expensive to get unused original Nintendo GameCube controllers these days. So I have to buy some used ones. But I find it unpleasant that someone I don’t know had his hands on it for several years.

How could you clean GC controllers? Are there any effective ways?

Get some isopropyl alcohol from your local walmart / medex / walgreens / CVS.

Not only will it kill any germs but it also evaporates quickly leaving little residue behind.

Make sure you get the 90-99% alcohol stuff. 75% alcohol is more common, but also leaves more residue.

Use a q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean around the edges of the buttons and analog stick.
