What's a safe way to clean a laptop screen?

Answer 1

If it's dust, just use canned air. Otherwise pickup lcd wipes from your local electronics store. The other way (what i usually do) i get a dry papertowel or a few. Wet them slightly with windex. (do not spray your monitor) and wipe the monitor just enough to get it clean. Then wipe again with a dry papertowel.

Answer 2

Cleaning Your LCD Screen

The major computer outlet stores are now starting to carry LCD cleaners for Flat Panel Monitors and Notebooks that do not contain the chemicals found in some commercial glass cleaners. These cleaners will definitely do the job nicely, but you do have to purchase them. If you do not wish to purchase these factory made cleaners, then you can clean your LCD Screen in the following manner.

What You Can Use

Water.

Water with a tiny amount of soft liquid soap.

Isopropyl Alcohol.

Hexane.

Petroleum Benzine.

Commercial glass cleaners that do not contain ammonia.

What You Should Avoid

Acetone.

Ammonia.

Ethyl acid.

Ethyl Alcohol.

Methyl chloride.

Toluene.

Commercial glass cleaners containing ammonia.

How You Should Do It

You should clean your LCD Screen display by applying the cleaner to a soft, clean cloth. Then you should wipe the cloth across the display from left to right, moving from the top of the display down to the bottom of the display. If your display contains grease or some other contaminant, then you should dampen your cloth with water instead of a commercial cleaner as the cleaner may smear the contaminants across the screen.

Answer 3

The best way to clean a laptop screen (and any LCD screen, for that matter) is by using a diluted soapwater solution and a small microfiber cloth.

Answer 4

Purchase notebook screen cleaning wipes. Don't use Windex, or anything like that. It won't clean your monitor. I currently use the 3M Notebook Screen Cleaning wipes to clean my laptop monitor. I got it from Comp USA. Those wipes will clean your laptop monitor nicely.
