This new cab I got, while not dirty, my father thinks its why I got sick. I sprayed the outside, vacuumed the inside which is now immaculate, but he still wants me to spray something on the inside. Can I use like a lysol disinfectant spray in there without taking all the pcbs and monitor out and everything?

Thanks in advance!

I wouldnt recommend doing that. Getting disinfectant, and stuff on the chassis/power supply or even the iso transformer, could cause some serious problems

I agree, spraying any type of aerosol into a cab should be avoided.

Maybe you can just scrub it down with a mr. clean eraser or something?

I'll take a look around and see what else I have. I really can't see this thing making people sick, but better to be safe than sorry I guess. Especially since I have to move the cab into my room :P

that's a good idea. Just keep the panel closed in the back to keep the dust out and keeps the germs inside ;)

Just spray some on a cloth and wipe the wood in one spot and then tell your dad that you sprayed inside. At least the scent will be in there.

Yeah,
spray on a cloth or a kitchen towel or something and wipe it out.

I still think it would be better to remove everything from the inside and clean it everywhere...

Well I practically did so far, First I vacuumed everything (EVERYTHING) on the inside, then I did it again over with the bristle attachment, and now Im gonna wipe it down with the disinfectant. I think this is as close to "take everything out and hose it down" as it's going to get.

Clean the outside with 409... and as much of the control panel and coin door insides that you can easily get to.

I know that if I have a cab in the workshop that is covered in cigarette tar/stench that it will fsck with my sinuses.

I'm trying to think of what I could use to clean the wood on the bottom of the inside of the cab, you can exactly rub a sponge across it (it's pretty rough) :conf:

I'll chime in here and say yes, it's possible that something in your cab could make you sick. I recently picked up a Simpsons cabinet, and every time I'd work on it, I'd start sneezing. It seemed that this cabinet had been outside at some point, as there was lots of rust and spiderwebs and gunk everywhere. I believe it's also possible it was around a cat, as I have bad allergies to cats. After I replaced the control panel, it hasn't bothered me nearly as bad, but I know there's alot more I can do to the thing.
