Easy and cheap ways of cleaning your laptop and HDTV screen

Many people who buy new Laptops or HDTV Televisions forget to inquire about their maintenance and cleanliness issues, but this shouldn’t be the case with you. The moment you purchase this vital piece of machinery, its care and maintenance should be your top priority if you’re interested in making your machinery stay in good condition for many years to come. It is said ignorance is bliss, but in the case of technology this is definitely not the case; some people turn to the use of Windex for cleaning their Laptop computers and HDTV screen.

I must take this opportunity to state the risk you put your machinery in when you use Windex; Windex and other cleaning agents in this category include ammonia, and it is extremely dangerous for the screen because it can shred the anti glare of the screen and cloud a plastic-based screen. Then there are other people who conveniently use water from the faucet for cleaning their HD TV and laptop screen; this is also the wrong approach because this water contains minerals which do not work well with the screen, leaving it with white smears.

Now, you’re probably confused and worried about how to clean the screen but there is nothing to worry about because let me inform you about a few easy ways that will help you clean your screen and make them as good as new. Firstly, you can use distilled water, which is easily available from a pharmacy; this type of water is mineral free and does not cause any damage to the screen and thus is one of the easiest and cheapest ways of cleaning the screens of your expensive and important technological equipment. However, for more effective results, it is suggested you combine 50 parts of distilled water with 50 parts of sopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol (also known as IPA). This approach is widely used and recommended, even by experts.

IPA is also a major component of screen cleaning wipes that are available on the market, but if you make this solution at home, it will also allow you save a few bucks along with removing all marks from your screen. Now that you’re aware of the liquids to avoid, be careful not to spray them on the screen. Apply the IPA solution on a cloth and gently clean the screen without applying any pressure.
