How to Clean Devices in ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs

To complete a cleaning job, inspect the objective, Disassemble the device until the dirty parts are accessible, Clean the relevant pieces one by one, replace any broken component the job also requires, and reassemble the device with the parts list as a check. This is a verified workflow overview, not a universal click map for every model.

Before cleaning

Read the order before spending money or throwing anything away. Sources distinguish cleaning jobs, repair jobs and jobs that combine both. The objective determines whether a dirty part should be cleaned, a damaged part replaced, or both actions are needed.

Disassemble to the relevant parts

Move through the teardown carefully and keep the on-screen parts list in view. Hands-on sources describe reaching individual components before brushing or cleaning them. Observed full-game footage also shows the device broken down at the workbench with its component checklist.

Clean, replace and rebuild

Treat each dirty component, then check for broken parts before rebuilding. Reassembly follows the teardown in reverse, and the checklist reduces the chance of leaving a component out. If the interface is unclear, use the in-game progress notes or hint support documented by the post-release guide.

Version-sensitive interface note

An older Steam Community answer mentions dragging a dirty part to a cup area and selecting a brush or clean action. That is retained only as a version-sensitive clue: the research does not prove that this exact screen location applies to every device in the final release.
