Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, July 3, Nintendo recently issued a tweet reminding players not to use objects such as cotton swabs to clean card slots in game consoles and not to blow into card slots to prevent Switch hardware from being damaged.

Nintendo tweeted that using objects such as cotton swabs to clean the slot of the game console may cause damage to the inside of the slot or the reading contact of the tape, so it is best not to touch the inside of the slot.

It is also not advisable to blow into the slot of the Switch, because the spattered saliva may stick to the contact and cause it to corrode. Officials suggest that if you want to remove dust, you can use a small vacuum cleaner on the desktop.
