Today's hint/Question: Clean_Screens

Re: Hint from MyComputerWorks.com

Can I clean my screen with Windex/(insert favorite cleaner)?
The fast answer is no, do not use chemical cleaners on your
electronic devices - that said here is a detailed explanation
of how to properly clean your LCD screens, smart phones,
camera screens and other sensitive surfaces without causing
damage:

LCD screens are pretty delicate, and you don't want to press
hard on them, because that can burn out the pixels. Instead,
turn your monitor off (so you can better see the dirty
spots), and grab a dry microfiber cloth. Many monitors and
other gadgets come with one if you need one there are several
cheap options here. From there, just gently wipe the screen.
If you need to, add a little bit of water. In most cases, the
microfiber cloth should be all you need.

If you have a more hearty build-up of spots or gunk, resist
the urge to press hard and lightly wet the cloth with a 50-50
mix of water and white vinegar. You can use a special monitor
cleaner if you desire, but the vinegar/water mix should work
just fine. If you can, use distilled water (available at most
stores) instead of tap water, since tap water is likely to
leave white spots on your screen from salt or other deposits.

Remember, as you're doing this, that you want to use a soft
cloth, preferably microfiber. Do not use anything paper-
based, like paper towel, Kleenex, or toilet paper, since it
can scratch up your monitor. If you don't have a microfiber
cloth, coffee filters will do in a pinch. Also remember never
to spray any liquid on the monitor itself?always spray it on
your cloth first.

Your phones and tablets that have a touch screen can be
cleaned with harder cotton cloths and a bit of distilled
water applied to the cloth before you clean the screen. They
are not as delicate as LCD monitors and TVs so you don't have
to be as concerned with the pressure when you wipe the
screen.

If your keyboard is dirty start with a can of compressed air
to blow out dust, dirt and other collected matter. You can
put a bit of rubbing alcohol on a cloth to clean your keys
after that.
