anyone got any good ways to keep my computer screen nice and clean,and smear free?

Answer 1

hellooo... so nice of you to ask :)
i personally use those Clorox wipes on mine... but, i have come to realize that they take off the plastic over time... i would recommend using like just regular mild soap and water. grease cutting soap. i usually Windex my screen, and use q-tips to get around the screen edge, and in the corners. it's funny about the keyboard, you can turn it upside down, and find last week's lunch and crumbs galore... haha i usually give mine a good shaking. cigarette ashes love to hide in there... for your mouse, i usually take the ball out, and wipe the rollers w/ a q-tip dipped in alcohol. also it wouldn't be a bad idea to check the wear of your mouse pad... crumbs and dust junk... i wouldn't touch your screen unless you really had to... i noticed that once every couple of weeks is good to keep it looking nice. best of luck. hope i have helped in some way.

The best way is to download Ccleaner here http://bitly.com/UrALrK

Or you can go on Windows operating system locate the command prompt and go there to do the following:
Create a Recovery file of system and date it today.

Then begin by;
delete the 'Temp' folders..they have hidden subfolders so you need to set the attributes in order to bypass this. For each subfolder delete all cookies and rubbish left behnd after install-uninstalled programs. Do a 'dir' command to check your progress. Make sure the 'Temp' file is empty.

goto c:\windows\prefetch and delete everything in there..no exceptions

goto c:\windows folder and delete all the '$' files that have been installed by updates. They can all be succesfully deleted and just take up disk space.

Locate the Internet Temporary Files..Check to see how high the saving level is..some have it set at 30 days..but that stores faaaar tooo much data..though it slows down the system overal. Keep this to a minimum..suggest 2 or 5 at most.

Delete all 'cookies' all those you don't need.

Locate the windows directory and go through the folders you know and those you don't need. Check this once a week at least. Some programs will install under XP as NT and older systems where there is no check of systems weight.

Check to see that system files have not changed since last booting. Things like .ini files or .bat are important items.


Check for 'Hidden Directories' all over the disk...do this at the command prompt:

dir *.* /ah wil show these hidden directories

Check the 'dir' command for all parameters

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 4

I have been told not to use ammonia based cleaners, but I have a 4 year old laptop that I have been using a little windex spray on a paper towel and then wiping with the towel. I don't notice that it has done any harm. Screen still looks great

Answer 5

Clean it using a soft cloth (cotton or microfiber are good) dampened with a soft soap solution (like liquid hand soap).

Then don't touch it.


Do not use paper towels - they are actually quite abrasive. Repeated cleaning with paper towels can scratch off some anti-glare coatings.

Answer 6

When my children were younger I placed a piece of perspex in front of the screen - available from decent DIY stores. Why, because if you want to keep the screen clean DON'T F'ING TOUCH IT.

If you find yourself inexorably drawn to touch it then you need to buy one of the cleaning kits available in computer stores.

Answer 7

I use the wipes specifically for that purpose from the PC stores, and sometimes the wipes I buy for my varifocal glasses. If you avoid putting fingermarks all over, it shouldn't be necessary very often other than with a clean, dry soft cloth.

Answer 8

use a screen cleaner anu also use lint free wipes or use microfibrant cloths to keep it clean. the other best way is to not keep touchin it and cover it with a monitor cover when it's not in use.

Answer 9

Don't touch it, dust it every once and awhile, and sneeze away from your computer. If you have dust or fingerprints on it, find some computer cleaning wipes like the one in my Sources.
