Hi all,

Many thanks to all who responded with info/ideas.

 Hi Neil and all,

 I have just now finished cleaning the worst laptop screen I've ever
 seen, or to be more correct the second worse one, and have used a
 small amount of distilled water to which I added a few drops of
 isopropyl alcohol, which I purchased at the chemist. This did the job
 very well for me, and the screen does not show any sign of grease
 spots or other food particles

 There are many commercial products available, but they seem quite
 pricey.

Hello Paul and all interested in how to clean LCD screens,

It's important to never use any paper based products to clean or  
wipe down your laptop display. Paper towels, facial tissue and  
toilet paper can scratch your laptop display. They also leave  
behind fragments of paper that over time will wreck your laptop  
display. Paper products also leave behind lint which they pick up  
from the air and you end up grinding this lint into your LCD if you  
use paper products.


Use only special wipes that have been created for cleaning laptop  
display screens. When looking at laptop display cleaning products  
make sure that the product is meant to be used on LCDs. There are  
some cleaning wipes that can be used on CRT displays but cannot be  
used on LCDs.


Using the proper cleaning products for laptops displays will ensure  
that you keep clean and prevent damage from occurring to it from  
cleaning products that are too harsh.


Take time to read labels carefully and use the proper products for  
keeping your laptop display clean.


This is why I've always used iKlear Apple Polish on all my Macs.



You can purchase it here, or contact Daniel Kerr to see if he can

Re: LCD screen cleaning

2009-03-17 Thread Ronda Brown 

Hello Paul and all interested in how to clean LCD screens,

It's important to never use any paper based products to clean or wipe  
down your laptop display. Paper towels, facial tissue and toilet paper  
can scratch your laptop display. They also leave behind fragments of  
paper that over time will wreck your laptop display. Paper products  
also leave behind lint which they pick up from the air and you end up  
grinding this lint into your LCD if you use paper products.


Use only special wipes that have been created for cleaning laptop  
display screens. When looking at laptop display cleaning products make  
sure that the product is meant to be used on LCDs. There are some  
cleaning wipes that can be used on CRT displays but cannot be used on  
LCDs.


Using the proper cleaning products for laptops displays will ensure  
that you keep clean and prevent damage from occurring to it from  
cleaning products that are too harsh.


Take time to read labels carefully and use the proper products for  
keeping your laptop display clean.


This is why I've always used iKlear Apple Polish on all my Macs.

After rearranging my office, my iMac now has a number of greasy fingerprints
on the screen.

I was just wondering what people find to be the best/safest/easiest screen

My apple LCL,  latest Macbook and iPhone all came with a screen 
cleaning cloth - looks like a standard microfibre thingy.

The black Macbook one comes with the Apple logo on it.

These seem cheap now - compared to the Enjo ones we have.
They all work well
