Can you clean a plasma screen (on a computer) with windex?

Question

If I can't use windex what can I use to clean it? Anything special I should do? Thanks for answers in advance!

Answer 1

Yes you can. Firstly make sure the plasma is off.....
Then spray the windex onto the rag, a soft cloth like a chux. Not so much that its dripping off, just damp. Then wipe, it should remove any gunk that you might have on it.

Answer 2

Review your owner's manual. It should give you the best instruction for your set.
Use only a microfiber or 100% cotton cloth. Do not use wood-based products such as paper towels or toilet paper, they could scratch the screen.
Do not use ammonia-based cleaners such as Windex, 409 or others. The could damage the anti-reflective coating on the glass.
Try first wiping it dry with the cotton or microfiber cloth.
If the problem persists, use a damp (water-only) cloth to clean it.
Some manufacturers recommend using mild soap, but do not do this unless your manufacturer recommends it.

Answer 3

I use Windex on my laptop and plasma tv all the time. My 3 year old daughter likes to smear food all over the screens, and it's really irritating.

Answer 4

I would not use windex. They have special cleaner for your screen. By all means, buy that. Until then, clean it with water and a soft cloth.

Answer 5

You can, but it's not the best. I would recommend a monitor cleaning solution (found easily online) or what I use is lens cleaner like for glasses. You can buy the package with the cleaner and microfiber cloth and it works great! Make sure you find a microfiber cloth though, anything else could damage your screen.

Answer 6

i install huge plasma tv's everyday and most of them come with a microfiber cloth (like the ones used to clean eyeglasses). if you dont have a microfiber cloth available, find the softest, least abrasive material you can find and moisten the rag with windex, dont spray the screen! wipe the screen with the damp rag.

Answer 7

go to walmart and get the cleaning pads from the pc isle their not that hard to find windex may be an issue

Answer 8

plasma? you must be thinking LCD and im not sure you can use windex but there are cleaners you can get at best buy

Answer 9

Well I know on a laptop you have to use washing detergent and a wash rag so maybe it would be the same. Don't press hard on the screen.

Answer 10

I reckon you could get away with it, but dampen something like a piece of paper kitchen roll with it, rather than spray it about, just to be on the safe side............ then wipe dry with a seperate paper towel.
