How to Clean a Wii

The Nintendo Wii video game system, with its all-white exterior, is more prone to showing dirtiness than its darker competitors. This can not only be aesthetically displeasing, but it can also potentially affect the system̵7;s performance if too much dirt builds up on the machine.
