How often should VR equipment be sanitized between users?

For safety and hygiene, VR equipment should be sanitized after every user—ideally before and after each session.

Recommended cleaning steps:

  • Wipe down the headset, controllers, and straps with disinfectant wipes or a soft cloth moistened with approved cleaning solution.
  • Pay special attention to areas in contact with the face, such as the foam, lenses, and head strap.
  • Allow the equipment to dry completely before the next use.
  • If possible, use disposable or washable VR face covers for extra protection.

Tip:
Always follow your company’s health and safety guidelines and the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning electronic devices.
