Cleaning a laptop screen is something we’ve all had to do, especially if anyone has children. Little freaks can’t keep their grubby little hands off of anything! I suppose adults are just as bad. We all have that office mate, girlfriend, or roommate who, for whatever reason, deems it necessary to put their oily little fingers on our laptop screens when they feel the need to point at something. “See? See right there?” Yeah, we see it, and you know what else we see? A big fat smudge on our laptop screen right where you jabbed your greasy little finger into it. Now, before you go padlocking your laptop shut, I’ll tell you that cleaning a laptop screen isn’t that difficult or expensive. All you need is a little rubbing alcohol, some Q-tips (if you’re picky), and a soft cotton cloth.
Find yourself a soft cotton cloth, some 90-98% isopropyl rubbing alcohol, and a couple of cotton Q-tips.
You never want to wipe your laptop screen with anything other than a cotton cloth, because paper products may in fact scratch the protective layers on your laptop’ screen. Rubbing alcohol is the perfect solvent for cleaning electronics. The Q-tips are for getting along those hard to reach edges.
Dilute alcohol to clean your laptop screenYou will want to dilute the rubbing alcohol with water to get a 50/50 solution to clean a laptop screen. Once you’ve done this, dampen your cotton cloth with the solution, making sure it’s not so damp that you can wring the water out of it. Then, with a circular motion, gently wipe the surface of the screen. It’s important that you do not press too hard—this could damage your screen.
