    Yeah, but remember to do it carefully! I highly suggest a full teardown so you can clean the fans and the power supply thoroughly. Also, make sure to clean and add a new thermal paste after opening up the console.

    Is it okay to clean the PlayStation with a wet wipe?

    No, the moisture from the wet wipe will ruin your PS4. It is best to use the driest possible option.

    No, if you do, then the PS4's insides could be damaged from the chemicals. Use a different type of wipe specially made for cleaning consoles.
