Ripped from Facebook again.

I asked people for ideas on how to remove the stench off my iPod nano (the fat nano, the 3rd Gen) through a status update on Facebook. Let's just say I got some bizarre responses...

Ronald thinks his iPod nano is starting to stink from all that running. Is there such a thing as an iPod deodorant?7:06pm

dunk into concentrate Detoil...kills smelly germs. n the Nano in the process. Euthansia.

alcohol swabs?

wd40 is great for your ipod. brasso too. if you want fierce power deodorant you should wipe under your arms. sure to get rid of the smell.

Narb nano.

70% Methylated Spirit or 80% Isopropyl Alcohol.

so, to sum up, alcohol, brasso/WD40[seriously?], and Detoil [erm, isn't this some sort of "purifying oil for hair manufacturing"?]. Think I'll try the alcohol swab, and maybe leave the rest to the Mythbusters, or someone else with more iPod nanos to spare. I need mine to work after the de-odorising.

anyway, thanks for the suggestions!

and, i use the 3M "just add water" sponge for the click wheel and my macbook. $1.80 for 2 sponges, kills all the discolouration issues that ever existed.

The click wheel discolours? How do you discolour that which has no colour (i.e.: white)? Or did you mean the discolourisation on the MacBook only.
Ryan Lry at 1:57pm February 24
both...from white to yellow? "discolouration" here is the term used by apple, but its actually sweat and chips of dead skin.
Ronald Liong at 8:41pm February 24
oh. eww.
