Cleaning Electronics with Sugar

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sticky-situations dept.

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!"

    Isn't sugar also small enough to slip through any holes on the product though? I wouldn't want bits in my electronics rattling about.

    I suppose this is why he uses tape to cover other parts than the ones he's cleaning

    Toothpaste has a very mild abrasive that's great for removing things, but it's a great way to remove small scratches.
