how do you clean a computer screen?

Question

my god daughter wrote on my screen with a sharpie marker and i want to to how to get it off. i used rubbing alcohol and got the most of it off. what else can i do?

Answer 1

old crt monitor? or flat panel.

if its a crt, don't spend a bunch of $$ on cleaners.

you'd be amazed at what a simple razor blade can do.
go buy a single blade razor

but not double sided. You can find ones that have a protector on one side. its mostly found in hardware stores.

give your screen a razor rub down.
I've removed crayon, sharpie, and general gunk with a razor.
and don't worry. Metal blades can't scratch your screen up.

Yes. I actually JUST tested it on an old monitor I had. Just to double check. It works great.

It (the ink) seems to bond to dirt, grease on the screen and doesn't come off perfectly.
just finish up by rubbing the screen with a slightly wet towel, then buffing with a dry towel.

Worked for me!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
