Gadget gunk-b-gone!
The fact of the matter is that your gear gets gunk on it. Whether it's facegunk on your smartphone (eww) or pizza gunk on your controllers (ewwwwww) or where-the-heck-did-this-gunk-come-from on your laptop screen, it gets gunked up.

Enter Dirt Rags, the gadget de-gunker. They're a great way to restore your stuff to that spic-n-span state you love without violating the "no harsh chemicals, no solvents, nothing that'll actually clean it" warning you'll find in most manuals for your electronics. Each Dirt Rag comes in its own hermetically sealed package, preserving the cleany goodness therein. Rip the package open, unfold the Dirt Rag and you'll get a whiff of the freshness that you're about to unload onto your phone/laptop/gaming controllers. It smells deliciously like a wetnap (but is not a wetnap. Do not use a wetnap to clean your stuff. For the sake of testing I did, and I had to use a Dirt Rag to get the streaks off the screen. Consider yourself warned.)You will need three things to make Dirt Rags work for you:Dirt Rag (duh)piece of electronics worth de-gunkinga dry, lint-free cloth for buffage post de-gunkingI tested the Dirt Rag on four devices - my BlackBerry Storm smartphone, my MacBook Pro 15" screen, my PlayStation 3 Dual-Shock 3 Controller, and my Xbox 360 Elite Controller.Results:BlackBerry StormThe Storm is a touchscreen smartphone, so it's alllll screen, baby. As is the nature of such devices, the Storm accumulates facegunk in a big way. The application of the Dirt Rag cleaned the screen, the buttons, and the casing of the Storm in under 30 seconds; that's practically an instant de-gunking. A wipe with a microfibre cloth removed the excess moisture for a clean, streak free dry.MacBook ProIt took a little longer to clean the MacBook Pro. The screen has more real estate, and you need to take care to get into the corners and liberate all the gunk. The Dirt Rag was safe to use between the keys, on the trackpad, and even for a once over on the casing. The difference was most noticeable on the screen, with a de-gunked keyboard coming a close second.ControllersIt's amazing that we don't think to clean our controllers more often; you spend nearly all of your time playing console games gripping them for grim death. There were visible trace amounts of gunk in the crevices of the controllers, something that was removed quickly with one application of the Dirt Rag. I also managed to remove some dirt from the analog sticks, retuning them to their more grippy, natural state.I tried a few additional cleaners to see if the results were similar. Windex left streaks and seemed overly harsh (do you really want to messing with Ammonia-D?), and screen cleaners did alright with screens, but left their own gunk on the controllers and keyboards. I used the Dirt Rags to restore them to their freshly cleaned glory. I like that DIrt Rags are alcohol-free; my gadgets don't have that cleaning-alcohol smell on them, and it leaves them clean and without residue.In short, the Dirt Rags did the job as promised, cleaning my electronics without leaving a streak residue or melting them into sludge. With a newly refreshed controller I may actually have a bit more of an edge in console games than I did before, giving me even fewer excuses as to why I get pwned so badly. Dirt Rags get a thumbs up.
