Cleaning your computer display

Flat screen monitors, also called LCDs, require special care when cleaning:

• You can use a solution composed of 50% water and 50% rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) or a commercial LCD cleaning solution. DO NOT use a harsh cleaning agent such as bleach, acetone, or glass cleaner.
  
• Always use a clean, soft, cotton cloth, or a special electrostatic cloth; paper towels and unsterile rags may scratch the screen.
• Always spray the alcohol directly onto the cloth, just moistening it; spraying the fluid directly on the screen may damage the underlying electronics.
• Always wipe the screen gently; applying excessive pressure may damage the screen.
