The Best Way To Effectively Clean LCD Laptop & Monitor Screens
taken from:

Cleaning laptop and LCD monitor screens is different from cleaning the
usual CRT screens and requires some additional care and safeguards. A
large part
of this is because the traditional CRT screen is made up of glass, so it
is a lot less prone to scratches from dust particles then your LCD screen.
You can follow these steps and guidelines while cleaning your laptop or
LCD monitor to keep out of harm’s way and have a sparkling clean screen.
Materials you would need
• A soft lint free cotton cloth (microfiber cloth works best).
• Distilled Water. Isopropyl Alcohol or white vinegar (if there are oil
stains)
• A bottle (atomizer bottle works best)
How to Clean Your LCD Monitor
• If it is just dust you are getting rid of, distilled water would be
sufficient and you don’t need any other cleansing agent. If there are
fingerprints
on the screen or some oily stains than the best thing to use is a
solution of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol. Note that you should
NEVER clean off
the screen with a dry cloth. This way the dust particles can easily
scratch the surface of the screen.
• If you are going to need Isopropyl Alcohol, you should make a solution
consisting of equal amounts of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol.
• You then need to put this solution (or just distilled water if that is
the case) into an atomizer bottle.
• Spray the contents of the bottle onto the soft lint free cloth, DO NOT
spray directly on the screen, make sure that you are holding the cloth
away from
laptop when spraying. A damp cloth (or perhaps an edge of cloth) is what
we are looking for, we don’t need to soak it in the solution.
• Gently wipe the screen with the cloth. Horizontal and vertical
movements work best, however if there are areas that need a little extra
attention or streaks
going along the screen, you can concentrate on the area with some
circular movements.
What you should not do
I have been pointing out the Do’s and the Don’ts all along, and here are
some more absolute NO-NO’s:
• Never use cleansing agents like window cleaners, soap solutions etc.
These contain chemicals that can harm the screen. In particular you
should avoid
anything that contains the likes of ammonia, acetone, toluene or ethyl
alcohol.
• Don’t spray directly on the screen. If you can’t find an atomizer
bottle, you can pour some liquid onto the cloth just make sure it is not
soaking wet.
Again do all this away from the laptop
• Do not use tissue papers, newspaper or shower towels to clean the
screen. You can easily scratch the screen with these.
• Don’t use tap water, it always contains some dissolved salts that can
harm the screen.
• Don’t clean while the laptop/computer is powered on. Turning off not
only gives you a nice black screen that lets you see the stains easily,
you also
avoid the risk of damaging your computer accidentally.
• Don’t put too much pressure on the screen while cleaning. Doing so can
permanently damage the screen.
