Spring Cleaning Tips from Rantizo

To ensure your drone is in top flying condition this spring, here’s a few items to address.
  • Run clean water and Dawn® dish soap water through the tank, hoses and nozzles to flush the spray system of any winter dust buildup. 
  • Remove and clean inlet and outlet filters with warm, soapy water. Air-dry thoroughly before replacing. 
  • Wipe down the entire drone with clean water, antibacterial wipes, rubbing alcohol or simple degreasers to remove any materials that could damage vital components. 
  • Use an air blower to eliminate dust from hard to access places like motors, circuit boards, ESCs, heat sinks and vents. 
  • Gently clean your remote controller screens, plus wipe around joysticks and ports.
  • Carefully remove any residue from the camera lens, supports, sensors, and gimbal. 
Clean battery surfaces, terminals and connectors of dust and dirt using a soft cloth, microfiber towel, or Q-tips dipped in isopropyl alcohol or distilled water. Check for bulging, dents or signs of peeling. Replace all suspect batteries.

Practicing a structured spring-cleaning routine will help maintain your drone’s functionality, improve its navigation, video quality, battery life, plus extend its lifespan.
