How to clean laptop screen
Do you miss that shiny new laptop look? Here\'s how to brew your own laptop screen cleaning kit using simple household ingredients.
Dilute isopropyl alcohol (not rubbing alcohol, as it may contain oil) into a solution of no greater than 50 percent alcohol and 50 percent with distilled water / deionised water. Purified / bottled water works well too.
Put the solution in a small atomizer bottle, the type that you push from the top to get a fine mist. Don\'t use this, however, to spray on the screen itself.
Apply the solution to a cotton cloth, such as an old T shirt, lint-free micro fiber cloth, or other very soft cloth. A large cloth is best, since it will help to decrease the risk of leaving streaks across the screen from finger pressure.
Clean the cloth beside the screen in a circular, or other reliable motion. Apply an even pressure to the cloth but take care not to press your fingers into the cloth or screen.
Costly store-bought products hold the same mixture of alcohol and water. Others include Ethylene Glycol. You in fact do not need all these additions that may be injurious to your health and to the surroundings.
If you apply too much of the solution and it is pathetic or too damp, wipe it off with a soft cloth and apply less.
Tissues, napkins, and other paper products will leave flakes of paper on your monitor. It\'s better to not even try using them. They may even scratch polished surfaces.
You don\'t want mineral spots on your screen, so don\'t use tap water.
Using a 100 percent cotton cloth or shirt alone, without the alcohol mix, can from time to time produce the same smudge-free results without going to the difficulty of mixing your own solution.
If you are a photographer, you can use your lint-free lens wipes instead of a soft cotton cloth.
If you are looking for a cheap way to get your hands on convenient cleaning solution, try CD/DVD cleaner, which is often 55 percent Isopropyl alcohol and is not destructive to most plastic surfaces.
