Clean the screen so your work can be seen
(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - Yoo hoo - dust particles are building up on your screen as you’re reading this. Can you see them? The angle of the screen and the small amount of static charge can amount to a layer thick enough to write “WASH ME!”
Here are 3 ideas that will get the job done (and one of them is free!):
The tech equivalent of baby wipes, these are pre-moistened with an oil-free and scratch-free solution. Amazon notes that these aren’t recommended for screens with anti-glare coating.
Not into disposables? How about:
If you’re into cute things that are also funtional, here’s a cute screen cleaner with a chamois-like surface on the bottom that gently cleans up… while looking… um, cute.
Too bad you can’t train it to do windows, too.
Don’t want to buy anything? Good on ya. Way to save yourself a little cash.
Instead, I’ll bet you probably have an old washcloth or clean cotton rag around. Moisten with a small amount of water and you’re done - lickity split!
While you’re at it, dust off the printer… you’ll feel like you’ve got a new office!

Hi Jennifer…according to the research I did when I purchased my laptop, tap water can leave mineral spots on a laptop’s lcd screen, and chemicals like chloride in the tap water can damage them as well.
Since I didn’t want to pay a ridiculous price for 2oz. of the commercial lcd cleaner a little more research led me to a great alternative….a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water (essentially the same thing as the commercial products) and a soft 100% cotton cloth. Works like a charm!
Warmly,
Lisa

I use one of those micorfiber dust clothes… I bought it for the whole house, which works when I use it, and discovered it’s great for the screen as well.

Lisa: Fantastic suggestion! Thanks for the recipe for LCD screen cleaner!
It’s noteworthy that a plain ol’ cloth will do the trick unless there’s gook stuck on the surface.
Anne: Microfiber cloths - cool stuff!
Anyone cleaned their screen today? :)
