Get A Clean Lcd Screen - In 4 Easy Steps

Your laptop screen is a mess, but you are not sure how to clean it. Well in that case, here is a post which will provide you with some procedures on the best ways of cleaning an LCD screen, whether it is your laptop or your desktop monitor as well as a television.

First take notice of these couple of crucial things that you should never do to get a clean LCD. Do not use anything which is sharp or abrasive for LCD cleaning. Its also wise to never directly spray any type of cleaning solution, not even water directly on your screen. Please note that your lcd screen is not made of glass, so this is important you remember not to do this.

You may either make your own lcd cleaning solution or you can obtain some bought in your local retail shop. Just note, that you may end up paying more than double if you buy the premade solutions. Although should you be nervous about making the solution or just do not have the time, buying premade lcd cleaning solution is a good alternative. To produce your own solution you will need, diluted isopropyl alcohol, which is nothing more than rubbing alcohol. You want to mix it at 50% alcohol as well as 50% water. Also you can try using distilled water and white vinegar. You also mix this at 50%/50%.

The next item you must have in cleaning an lcd screen is a soft cloth. This can be pretty much any soft material like an old tee shirt, or old flannel type shirt. Do not ever use paper towels, or any paper product. Another thing that is strongly suggested is buying micro cloths which you can get at many retail stores or online.

You should also get a small spray bottle. This way you are able to pre-make and store your lcd cleaning solution and use it whenever need be. Instead of having to prepare it every single time needed.

Now that you know things you need to clean it, here are the steps you should take to actually get that clean lcd:

* Switch off your monitor or laptop.
* If it is plugged into the wall, best to unplug it.
* Apply some solution on your soft cloth or soft rag.
* To prevent streaking, use the same direction to clean lcd screen. Eg. Top to bottom.
* Finally, let it dry.

You will not have to wipe it down once you have finished cleaning it. More than likely if you followed the guide and you did this properly your lcd will be clean and streak free in seconds of finishing it. Repeat this whenever you will be cleaning an lcd, even if it is not your laptop.
