I just got a laptop, so I dont want to mess up the screen using windex or something. How should I clean it?
Thanks

1. spic and span

2. Lawnchair Method

Set it out on a lawnchair and hose it down. That also cleans the keyboard.

14. Might need a power sprayer if he's the kind who eats cheetos

or pasta while typing.

personally, i like to soak mine in Kerosene for a half hour then put it in the self-cleaning cycle of the oven to get all that crud loosened up, then send it through the lawnchair method while it's still oven-hot.

But then I'm probably a lot more anal-retentive about cleanliness than others.

4. Avoid oil-based products, windex too

They make special cleaners for LCD screens. Use only those and don't try cheating...

make him squeal like a pig...wipe dry with a damp cloth.

6. Got this cloth at Linens and Things

It's called Wondercloth, it's grey and looks like a piece of flannel. No lint, just water, no chemicals and no streaks. Use it for the computers , tv's etc. Radioshack sells a spray for screens but it doesn't work too well. Leaves streaks.

10. My laptop was a Dell. Lasted over

five years without a single problem. Then the screen went. RIP
Shopping for a new one. May go Apple.

9. Endust for Electronics

I've used Endust for Electronics (aerosol spray in a blue can) for years for cleaning computer screens, stereo equipment, electronic musical instruments, etc. This cleaning formula is specifically made for plastics, doesn't scratch, and has a bit of anti-static compound added. For some reason, in recent years, I've had a hard time finding this stuff locally, so I had to mail order a case from

11. Distilled water

on a cloth might be okay, but check with the manufacturer.

The lawn chair method posted above is viable as well.

15. Here's What I Did... I Don't Know If It Will Help You Though

I moved it further away from me and kind of turned to the side a little. Seems to help a little.

17. I like acetone with a little turpentine.

Sanitizes,too.

Seriously, we use "Kleen Screen" at work.

When I don't have that, I use just some plain water with a clean washcloth and wipe dry with another clean cloth immediately.

Took me awhile before I got the courage to remove that plastic wrap!
