Most electronic items have some gaps or openings where dirt, dust, debris and other baddies can get in and interfere with the operation of the device. Now, prevention is the best medicine, and keeping your electronics, whether it be an iPod Nano, Sony PSP or Xbox 360 in excellent condition to begin with is a great way to keep them functioning as they should.

If you want to clean your electronics, never use water, fluid or any other abrasive or chemical substance. It could damage the surface of the item, and some may actually seep into the gaps and openings, seriously compromising, damaging or even ruining the item itself. Rather, use a soft cloth to clean and get rid of dust from the surface.

If you want to clean the interior of your electronic devices, this may involve taking the device apart. This probably isn't a good idea, unless you are certain in your abilities to open, clean and put back together the object you want to clean. If you do open the electronic item, you may unintentionally damage it, even though you only want to clean it.
