Cleaning Electronics with Sugar

legoburner writes "Instructables.com has an article on removing logos from your PDAs or Cell Phones using sugar. Basically, the sugar crystals are strong enough to remove the logo (sticker), but are too soft to scratch the casing leaving it unscathed. The article has many pictures of the process as well as a thorough walkthrough. Let the rebranding of all your electronics begin!"

    See? I've always told my mom that nothing bad was going to happen because of me eating candy over my keyboard. It even keeps it clean!

    One of my friends has a grandmother that is somewhat abrasive.

    The only difference is that she doesn't remove scratches, she inflicts them.

    Maybe not so useful in this context :o\

    I find a hammer to be highly effective; it won't remove logos well, but you feel much better once the offending device is in twenty or thirty pieces.
