Twice a year usually, but I don't have it marked on the calender; just when I think of it. I use the 2 part deoxit kit. I clean the cable ends and the component inputs and outputs.I used to use alcohol, but I bought the deoxit, and it seems to do a good job so I stay with it.
How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often?
So, how often do you clean your cables? Such as with Deoxit or other cleaning solution?
- weekly?
- monthly?
- annually?
- other?
- never?
And do some types of cables benefit more than others from cleaning? I'm thinking analog cables such as interconnects and speaker cables might need cleaning more often than digital cables such as coax and USB. What's your experience here?
Also, when you clean cables, do you also clean the connectors on the units? Such as RCA or speaker outputs and inputs?
Lastly, for now, I mentioned Deoxit among cleaning solutions. If you do clean cables, what are your favorite products and why?
Dave, who also wonders if cleaning matters less or is simply more difficult with XLR jacks and connectors
