The Best Cleaning Products for VR Headsets
When you have used your VR headset intensively, it is important to leave it clean and hygienic. Also, when you use the VR headset with friends or pass it around at a VR event, it is much more pleasant if the headset is clean. Fortunately, there are plenty of products available to keep your VR headset in pristine condition! In this blog, we list some of our popular cleaning products for you.
1. Universal VR Masks
The easiest way to keep your VR headset clean is by using universal VR masks. These are masks that you can place against your face and secure behind your ears. These masks ensure that the face foam of the headset does not come into contact with your own face. This prevents dirt from your face from getting onto the VR headset (and vice versa, of course!).
The universal VR masks are available in packs of 100 masks. When using the masks for yourself, you can easily use the same mask multiple times. However, when using the masks at an event with multiple people, it is advisable to give each person their own mask.
2. Silicone Face Mask
Another easy way to increase the hygienic use of your VR headset is by adding a silicone mask to the face interface. The material of the silicone masks has the advantage that you can simply wipe it clean with a damp cleaning cloth. This way, you can immediately wipe off all dirt such as sweat from the mask and use the headset cleanly the next time. The silicone mask can be folded over the standard face interface of the VR headset.
The silicone masks are available for almost all types of VR headsets. In some cases, you can also get the silicone masks in a fun colour, such as blue or red. This way, you can nicely match it with the colour of your VR headset or environment.
3. Alcohol-Free Cleaning Wipes
You can clean a VR headset with a damp cleaning cloth, but to get it really clean, it is recommended to use a disinfectant wipe. Many of these wipes contain alcohol, which can be harmful to the VR headset and/or the lenses. The cleaning wipes we offer are specially made from alcohol-free material. The wipes are made with a milk protein molecule that has roughly the same cleaning properties as alcohol, but without the risk of damaging your VR headset.
The alcohol-free cleaning wipes come in a handy bucket from which you can pull out the wipes one by one. There are a total of 480 wipes in the bucket, so one bucket will last you a long time. The wipes are extra moist, allowing you to remove even the toughest stains from your VR headset.
4. Disinfectant VR Spray
In addition to wiping your VR headset clean, you also want it to be completely free of bacteria. For this, you can use our disinfectant VR spray. This spray is specially developed to hygienically clean electronics without the risk of damaging the VR headset or causing discolouration.
In addition to its hygienic effect, the disinfectant VR spray also has a very pleasant scent. So, after cleaning, the VR headset not only feels clean but also smells wonderful for the next user!
5. Lens Cleaner Spray
Sometimes, stains also appear on the lenses of the VR headset. When you wipe them with a cloth, you may find that you are just smearing the stain around. You can moisten the lenses a bit to better remove the stain, but be careful not to use water, as this can damage the VR headset.
Our VR lens cleaner spray is specially developed to clean the lenses of the VR headset. The small can contains a cleaning solution that you can spray onto the lenses. You can then wipe it off with the included microfiber cloth to clean the lens.
6. UV-C Cleaner
Do you really want to be sure that the VR headset is completely clean? Then you can also use a UV-C cleaner, such as the UVISAN cabinets or the UV Smart Box. These products contain a filter that, with the help of UV-licht, kills 100% of the bacteria on the VR headset (and controllers). These UV-C materials are mainly used by companies and organisations where a hygienic VR headset is a must, such as in a hospital. The advantage of the UV Smart Box is that it has certain certifications that guarantee the VR headset is clean (unlike, for example, just a disinfectant spray).
Conclusion: which cleaning products are best for your VR headset?
There are many different ways to keep your VR headset clean and tidy. However, no single product is "the best." Therefore, it is advisable to use a combination of products. For example, always make sure to use a VR mask when playing -, or if you find this uncomfortable, use a silicone face mask and wipe it clean with the alcohol-free cleaning wipes.
