We are going to look at a home-remedy solution and a product you can purchase, both of which will do wonders for your computer screen if applied correctly. When we think of cleaning surfaces, the first thought may be to use Clorox wipes, after all, don’t they get rid of 99.9% of germs? Yes, they do, but they also contain strong chemicals, usually with alcohol, ammonia, and sodium lauryl sulfate which will actually remove the protective coating on LCD display panels. You should only use a microfiber cloth, soap and distilled water, or a mixture of distilled water and white vinegar, but Apple uses iKlear for all of their displays. We use them hours on end every day, but how do we clean them? Should we use wipes, and if so, what kind of wipes should you use on a computer screen? Does it make a difference if you are using a CRT monitor or an LCD display?ĬRT monitors can be cleaned using Windex, but LCD display panels should never be cleaned with alcohol or ammonia-based cleaning fluids. People spend more time behind a computer screen today than ever before. By Tim Chesonis | Last Updated: February 10, 2019
