Cleaning the Monitor

How do I clean the flat screen monitors?

To clean the screen:

1. Turn off the monitor (screen)
2. Use a Microfiber Cloth to remove any obvious dust and gently brush off any dirt particles.
3. Dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cloth with water only. (do not use class cleaner as the screen is not glass)

    

4. Wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
5. Dont leave any liquid on the screen, as it may damage the screen.
6. Let the screen dry thoroughly before switching it back on.

Note: Be aware that you should not use any product containing ammonia or ethanol, as these components will degrade LCD screens. Make certain the commercial computer monitor cleanser you purchase specifically states that it is for use as a screen cleaner. Instead of buying a commercial cleaner, some people make their own solution using 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% distilled water.

Spray the cloth, not the monitor. When cleaning LCDs, laptops, computers or televisions, make sure they are unplugged. Do not place or spray the liquid directly onto your screen. Instead, dampen the special cloth slightly with the cleanser and then gently wipe your screen in a consistent motion, such as counter clockwise, rather than haphazard motions.
