To clean a computer screen safely and effectively, follow these steps:
- Turn off and unplug the computer to avoid electrical issues and make smudges more visible.
- Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe the screen in a circular motion.
- Avoid spraying any liquid directly on the screen. Instead, lightly dampen the cloth with distilled water or a mix of distilled water and white vinegar (or isopropyl alcohol for certain screens).
- Never use harsh chemicals, alcohol-based or ammonia-based cleaners, paper towels, tissues, or abrasive materials that can damage the screen's protective coating or scratch it.
- For stubborn marks, repeatedly and gently wipe with the dampened cloth until clean.
- You can clean the frame and base with multi-purpose cleaners on a lightly sprayed paper towel, but avoid letting these cleaners touch the screen itself.
This method keeps your screen clean without risking damage from moisture or harsh chemicals, maintaining its clarity and longevity.
