Hygiene accessories for VR & AR

Always use a microfiber cloth or lens-specific cleaning wipe. Spray your cleaning solution onto the cloth, do not spray directly on the lenses, and gently wipe in circular motions. Avoid paper towels, tissues, or abrasive materials which can scratch or leave residue.

Most hygiene accessories like disposable face covers, cleaning sprays, and UVC cabinets are universal and compatible with all major VR and AR headsets — including Meta Quest, HTC Vive, Pico, and others. Silicone face cushions are usually headset-specific though, so make sure to grab the right model for your device.

Ideally after every user session. If that’s not possible, use disposable hygiene masks or silicone covers between users and perform a deep clean with a UVC cabinet or approved cleaning solution at least a few times throughout the day.

There’s a range of handy hygiene accessories to keep your VR setups fresh:

• Disposable face covers: single-use covers to prevent direct skin contact.

• Silicone face cushions: easy to wipe and disinfect after each use.

• UVC disinfection cabinets: kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses on multiple headsets simultaneously.

• Cleaning sprays and lens wipes: for daily cleaning without damaging lenses or materials.

Maintaining hygiene is critical to prevent the spread of bacteria, viruses, and skin conditions among users. Proper cleaning and disinfection practices ensure the safety and comfort of users, particularly in shared environments like schools, training centers, or public exhibitions.
VR Experts offer a range of hygiene solutions aimed to keep your devices clean and hygienic.

To clean your VR headset safely, use a cleaning product specifically designed for electronics. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage materials or leave residue, the lenses of most VR headsets can’t even handle alcohol based solutions so be careful of the contents of a cleaning spray.
A safe cleaning solution is “Spray Twice a Day” – an alcohol-free solution perfect for cleaning VR headsets and AR headsets/smart glasses, ensuring they stay hygienic without harm. The spray can also be used to clean the lenses of the headsets.

During events or in showrooms it is not always possible to properly clean a VR headset after every user with an Uvisan cleaning cabinet or spray it clean with Spray Twice a day. In this case you can use hygiene masks for people to wear. These simple protective masks prevent direct contact between skin and the VR headset allowing for better hygiene than without. It is still advised to clean the headset properly when possible.

When you use multiple VR headsets in a training environment or in a classroom it is recommended to keep the VR headsets cleaned, charged and safe when they are not in use. To achieve this you can use a UVC cabinet. These cabinets feature strong UVC light able to kill 99,99% of the bacteria and viruses with an integrated charging solution and is lockable to prevent theft. They come in different sizes able to clean & store between 1 and 30 devices at once.
