For general, light cleaning, just dust the DVD player case once a week or so with a damp cloth, and try not to spill maple syrup directly into the vents. There are two reasons to clean your DVD player: to perform general maintenance and to wipe up spills. Electronics are serious dust magnets, and particles that enter through the vents can work their way to the laser lens that reads the disc, making your picture go all weird or even forcing the DVD player give up on reading anything at all. While the case is only vulnerable to liquid spills and sticky-handed toddlers, both the vents and the lens are extremely sensitive to dust. There are basically three places that you need to keep clean on your DVD player: the case, the vents and the lens. If you didn't drop it off the roof and it's not on fire, all it needs is a good dusting. DVD players aren't heavy-duty electronics, which makes their malfunctions mercifully easy to diagnose. However, when your player does break down, a thorough cleaning can be just what it needs for another few years of life.

Too much invasive cleaning isn't good for the DVD player - in general, it's better to just leave it alone to get on with its movie-playing business.

Provide a little moisture once a week by dusting it with a damp (not wet!) cloth and it'll be fine. Taking care of a DVD player is a lot like taking care of a cactus.
