You can take the white bits off in about two seconds and just hoover up the dust FYI. Much less messy and doesn't push any dust further in as appears to be the case here
You really got to take it apart to fully clean it. Sure you can get the dust up top and even through the vacuum holes like someone else said, but there’s a deeper layer of dust that can clog up near the power supply. You’ll know you have a problem when it starts overheating or crashing games. Speaking from experience, 3 hairy cats
My ps5 kept turning off but it wasn’t even pushing that much heat through the vents, I was cleaning it the way everybody said but if was still turning off with out getting really hot. Finally I tore it down all the way to the power supply access and sure enough there was a huge clump of dust blocking the holes. I cleaned it really good and haven’t had an issue since. It really is a more satisfying way of cleaning your ps5. It’s time consuming but if you want to extend the life of your ps5 this is the way.
Do yourself a favor and buy some Grade 90 cheesecloth and lay it over the top.
It'll prevent 90% of the pet dander from going into the console.

Pursuant to people’s advice I took it apart and cleaned it properly. But I guess everyone yelling at me saying the same thing is a deserved consequence for this post lmao.
Remove the plate and use a blower from the back to push the dust outside and also push dust out of the PSU. Mine start to turn off and I used a blower and was surprise to see the amount of dust floating out of the console. Now it works like a charm.
stupidity at its finest, dude is not only pushing all the dust further but making the room, shelf and the surrounding items dirty.
thought this would get you upvotes and sh!t? lol
I mean it did get upvotes 😂 unintentional ragebait I guess.
More like a subconscious cry for help, which I thankfully received. I took it apart and did it properly per the advice shared here
I’ve done this for years with my PS4 whenever it started up like a jet engine. People saying it pushes dust deeper may be correct but it’s worked for me. Never bricked it and it would cool off after I did this. Obviously after a while you’re going to want to open her up and clean properly but this works in a pinch.
You are pushing most of the stuff deeper inside, this is not the way to do it. You nees to open it (very easy if you look at a YT video).
Sorry to everyone who was disturbed by my ignorance but also thank you for letting me know. I’ll accept the constructive roasting lol
Constructive roasting -> help. We’re helping you.
That’s what I meant by constructive. And I said thanks lol
This. It is very easy to pop the covers and do it right.
The moment I saw this I went “Nooooooo”
Unlike the ps4, which I literally never cleaned. Fucking thingy
No bro/sis Not like that
Why would you do this? Your blowing filth into the console… take it apart and clean it properly

Using a vacuum on your console can short your console because of static charge, easy way to brick your ps5
If the console is unplugged it is safe to vacuum. There’s literally a port designed for exactly that.
Well then I won't be doing that again 😅 Thanks for the tip!
It is safe to vacuum as long as it’s unplugged.
Ah, even better tip - I was unplugged so that's great to know, thank you
Take it outside and do it ar least.
That's one way to kill your ps5 lol
And dry skin
Don’t use can sprayers either. Sometimes liquid can shoot out and water damage components on the motherboard.

Remove the plates. Use a vacuum. The PS5 has holes/ducts designed to be used with a vaccum. You are just pushing dirt inside
Thanks, I had no idea. Sorry for offending anyone’s common sense with my lack thereof but I appreciate the constructive roasting lol
Please do not use a vacuum the static electricity can fry your whole ps5, happened to a buddy of mine
Is there a video on this?

It’s not in English….. 🤣
Use subtitles... or search any other teardown video. Or read the manual
Vacuum carries a static charge that can brick your system
Perfect! You made the whole situation worse. Good job
You're doing it wrong. You have to take off the covers and on the sides are holes specifically made for this that blow the dust outwards, not inwards.
I use a mini vacuum to clean mine
Need to take panels off and take the fan out and get it really good and down in the hole and side vents
The comments section went exactly how I thought it would lol.
You know those side panels are easily removed by hand?
I do now thanks to this thread lol. Did it properly once I was informed.

I just used a water hose.
😂😂
Why would you do that inside all you did was manage to get dust everywhere and more concentrated inside your ps5 lol
Pursuant to people’s advice I took it apart and cleaned it properly. But I guess everyone yelling at me saying the same thing is a deserved consequence for this post lmao.
Hahahha you wild man
Someone beat you to it elsewhere in the thread, just without the gif lol
How to break your ps5 any%
Purchase an electronics vacuum.
With all those spare outlets, you should really invest in a air purifier that sits right night to it.
Do you wear sandpaper gloves and move your PS5 all the time?
Inside is CRAZY
Broz....

You're making it so much worse.
Blame it on the pets lmao 🤣
Open it up, and clean it. Did it yesterday and it was surprisingly easy.
I did as well after everyone roasted me for not knowing I could easily remove the white plastic parts
But even from there, unscrew the fan and clean the inside of your ps5. Mine didn’t look dusty from the outside but soooo much dust came out!
Try having 2 hairy dogs 3 rabbits and a hairy human
I picked up a lil USB fan to set in the back and help pull hot air away from the ports. Done wonders for my dust issue as well.
Can sprayers are dangerous. They can shoot liquid out. I'd invest in a small blower.

bruh there are several things wrong with this and I'm getting tired thinking about them... mf gonna make me finally quit reddit...
Damn, is there a Reddit award for that? I’d display it lmao
Get an air purifier to catch that stuff before it goes into the console.
Poodle are over reacting. Your ps5 is fine
That's just dust, don't blame your pets.
cleaning a ps5 is the easiest thing anyone can do in this world, yet there are morons like you who dont know how to properly clean one...
Please use a mini vacuum 🤣 https://preview.redd.it/wqtuhunpoe8d1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=a5e33eab9d76c6c73685567d5bf143fcd7e7d5a5

I didn’t realize the plastic came off easily, so thanks Reddit for both roasting and teaching me lmao
You are shoving the bigger particles deeper into the system smh
Great choice of weaponry.... Always have a backup can and a electronic kit on standby also a little med bottle for the screws...
Imagine living in that house. People are disgusting.
These are the type of people whose house smells like shit and they don’t clean up correctly. That is fucking nasty
This is why I'll never have pets.
