How do you CLEAN the SCREEN on your electronics?

[AviatorTom]

Cleaning the screen on your PC, laptop, tablet or phone is something that should be done fairly often, especially when it's a touch screen (grease from finger tips). Since the screen is electrostatic, it attracts dust over time.

So, how do you clean it? And how often?

What chemicals do you use? Or maybe just water? What do you use to wipe it and dry it off?

PSA - Use a non-abrasive cloth so you don't scratch the screen. Paper towel is the WORST thing to use.

I have several bottles of hand sanitizer left over from the pandemic, and I use it to clean my screens. Since it's alcohol-based, it's a good cleaning agent. Just be sure to wipe it off completely, and don't rub too hard. I usually use a clean handkerchief for that.

Just slide your laptop on the top rack of the dishwasher and it all comes clean, not just the screen. Or take it through the carwash and leave the window open.

@yesterdayschild That was really funny. So was the GIF.

I rinse my phone under the tap and wipe with a clean cloth or just on my sleeve.

Bigger stuff just gets a wipe with a dry cloth.

I use my t shirt to wipe it down. If it gets really sticky my wife bought some spray stuff and I use a microfiber cloth.

Either us my finger or a couple sheets of shit paper. Maybe dampen them, if the dust won't come completely off.

shit paper lmaooo

[YesterdaysChild]

I hope it wasn't used. 😯🤢

[FunkyMonkee]

@YesterdaysChild Maybe that's why everything on screen has a sepia tint.

[YesterdaysChild]

😦🤕🤢

Dab some alcohol on a piece of tissue and wipe lol

I use a product called screen cleaner. It comes in a kit with a bottle of cleaning spray, a cloth, and a tiny brush to clean between the keys. Works like a charm.

properly... and often, as well

my whole desk and work area too

Just rub it on my jeans or hoodie when it gets a bit dirty. For my laptop I use windex and that's it.

[Sparkie460]

I use an electronic cleaning spray and a soft cloth that comes with it. I clean it once a month or when I see it's really dirty

I use another brace of cloth and I first cleaned screen with a glass cleaner and then clean it a second time with 70% alcohol.

[msc545]

That should be non-Abrasive cloth.

Makes me wonder how many users they've lost because they refuse to implement editing on this site.

Mostly water or sometimes spit sometimes spit from my fingers to wipe the food off

[AngryCarl]

Every few weeks I run a soft cloth over the screen.

[mandyfire98]

I actually buy those wipes they sell at the store.

[Date_a_Snob]

I used to do that but it got expensive

With baby wiles or anti septic wipes.
