"Game Juice is the world’s first and only cleaning solution specifically designed for video games!"There’s probably a lot of spit in your game cartridges…As games and hardware age, it becomes more difficult to maintain them. The Game Juice® proprietary specially designed formula keeps games working and preserves them for future playing and enjoyment. Game Juice’s superior cleaning power makes cleaning video game cartridges and consoles easy!All metals oxidize when exposed to the elements in the form of corrosion. This is a fact of nature. Moisture (blowing!) and external contaminants can catalyze the reactions. While DIY fixes such as isopropyl alcohol work fine as a general organic solvent, Game Juice® works best because it was formulated specifically with game cartridges in mind. The premium formula works to slow down the redox reaction and corrosion that occur with a stronger more dynamic solution. While there is no way to completely stop the many chemical reactions and corrosion effects from aging unless a chemical sealant is put on the cartridge (highly in-advised) - with regular use, Game Juice® can help mitigate these effects.
