Cleaning my laptop screen.?

Question

I just got my laptop a couple weeks ago. I clean it with a damp kleenex. Is that wrong and bad my screen?

Answer 1

get a micro fiber cloth. (you can find this in the auto department at walmart or target). you can use it over and over. and i would use regular filtered water. just moist enough to clean the screen real good. I've heard that alcohol can damage the screen. Even though it doesn't, why risk it? just use water....good luck.

Answer 2

A nice homemade concoction for the cleaning fluid is to get something around 50% isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is a nice all purpose cleaner that can also be used to clean your heatsink. You can find 90% pure isopropyl alcohol at a local drugstore, but DO NOT USE it at full strength!! Mix at least 1 part water to 1 part of the alcohol to water it down. This approximately 50% mixture is the recommended cleaning method by Apple!

Clean using very, very soft cloths. Some people swear by microfiber polymer cloths (also used to clean camera optics), but others use something as simple as a clean sock (flipped inside out). Stay away from anything even remotely abbrasive, such as paper towels, or old clothes.

Answer 3

Just use tapwater. Use a slightly wet soft cltoth. I have tried so many so called LCD screen cleaners but they will left stains on your monitor.

Answer 4

Answer 7

Answer 8
