Homemade Easy Cleaning of LCD Screens

Cleaning an LCD screen regularly will greatly enhance your viewing experience. Dust, smudges, smears and grime affect the laptop monitors' display and the difference is quite amazing.

Laptops have what is called an LCD screen, also called LCD monitors, which translates to Liquid Crystal Display. LCD screens are fragile and should be cleaned with extra care or risk permanent damage.

You can leave your laptop screen on during the cleaning process, but, if you turn it off you will be able to see the smears and smudges a lot better. Also NEVER put your fingers on the screen as this can burn out pixels.

Dry Dusting:
If your monitor is not too dirty you can just use a plain cotton cloth. Always use a SOFT cotton cloth, like an old t-shirt. Do not use cheap paper towels, towels, rags as they may scratch the surface.

LCD Screen Cleaning Solution:
If your monitor is really dirty then you can use a cleaning solution for a deep cleaning.
NEVER use any products that contain ethyl alcohol, ammonia, acetone, toluene, ethyl acid, or methyl chloride based cleaners these will yellow your screen.

You can go to the store and buy a LCD screen cleaner especially made for LCD monitors. If you don't want to spend extra money there is a safe and easy homemade solution.

Homemade Cleaning Solution:
Ingredients:
Isopropyl Alcohol
Distilled Water (Do not use tap water because it contains salts that can whiten your screen)

Mix equal parts distilled water to isopropyl alcohol (example: 1/2 cup water to 1/2 cup isopropyl alcohol)
Make sure to use only isopropyl alcohol, which is just regular rubbing alcohol.

Once again ALWAYS use a soft cloth, cotton preferably or those special electrostatic cloths used to clean eyeglasses.
Do not use a rag, paper towel or napkins as these can scratch the surface of your monitor.

Apply a very small amount of the solution ONTO THE CLOTH (never pour over the screen as this can short circuit your monitor) and very gently (without pressure) wipe the screen in one direction from the top of the screen to the bottom.

In conclusion cleaning LCD screens regularly is easy, safe and can cheap using the homemade solution. Here's to seeing clearly!!
