I need some advice on how to clean my laptops LCD screen. Over a bit of time of pointing and adjusting the screen a lot of fingerprints and marks have appeared on the screen. I usually just give the screen a bit of a wipe with the sleeve of my jumper or whatever, but i want to clean it properly now - i'm just not sure what to use without seriously damaging the laptop.

 

 

 

I googled looking for some products, but they're either all American or seem way too overpriced.

 

 

 

Any tips or advice are much appreciated.

If it's just simple grease then a microfibre cloth should do a good job. For slightly more stubborn marks I normally find just breathing on the screen then wiping it with the microfibre cloth will do the job.

 

 

 

Other than that, I know plenty of places sell LCD cleaner sprays. Just make sure you use it sparingly.

Spray glass cleaner onto a cloth (not directly onto the lcd screen) and wipe.

 

 

 

The reason to not spray directly on the screen is that some may drip down and leak into the panel.

I've always just used a damp (water, moist, not dripping) paper towel to wipe all my screens down and then used a second to dry them off. You may want to use a cloth if you're paranoid of marking the LCD up but I've never had a problem.

I've used the same on both LCD and CRT monitors. It's always worked for me, and I've never had to waste money on "cleaning solutions." :-)

Thanks guys, saves me some cash on buying liquid when water will do :P
