Cleaning and disinfecting VIVE XR Elite

Here are a few tips to help you keep VIVE XR Elite clean and hygienic.

Headset and controllers

Dampen a cloth with a neutral, non-acidic cleaning solution and use it to wipe the hard surfaces of the headset and controllers clean, especially places you frequently touch with your hands.
Using a UVC cleaner is an effective and recommended way to decontaminate VR headsets and controllers. Before using a UVC cleaner, make sure to properly cover the headset lenses. Discoloration due to UV exposure is not covered by warranty.
Don’t spray or pour liquid directly on the headset or controllers.
Don’t expose the headset or controllers to direct sunlight.
Don’t wash or use a volatile solvent such as alcohol to clean the temple pads.
Don’t machine wash the headset or controllers.

Lenses

Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the headset lenses clean.
To avoid smudging the headset lenses while cleaning them, wipe in a circular motion from the center of each lens to its outer edge.
For optimal tracking and passthrough, clean the four tracking camera lenses and the passthrough camera lens with a microfiber cloth.
Don’t use any liquids or cleaning solutions on the lenses.

Face cushion

Before cleaning the face cushion, remove it from the headset. See Removing and reattaching the face cushion.

When cleaning the face cushion, remember the following:

Gently wipe the face cushion with a cool, damp cloth. Don't use a soaking wet cloth to clean the face cushion.
Air dry at room temperature. Don't tumble dry, iron, or expose to direct sunlight or other sources of bright light.
Don't wash, scrub, wring, or bleach.
Don’t dip or soak in water.

Dirt and oil can accumulate on the face cushion over time. If you want to replace it, you can use the VIVE Face Gasket for XR Series. You can also use the VIVE MR Gasket, which rests comfortably on the forehead to provide an unobstructed field of view perfect for mixed reality experiences.
