When should you clean your computer screen?
Whether you’re using a desktop, laptop, or tablet, the most important thing to keep in mind is to keep your screen clean. For some screens LED or OLED TV same.
Light rays can obscure what you see on the screen. Smudges and fingerprints that accumulate over time will leave you with an unsightly screen. As a result, the experience of viewing content on that screen will be significantly reduced.
Those are signs that your screen needs to be cleaned. This cleaning process only takes a few minutes but in return, you will get a shiny screen like when you first bought it.
Tools needed to clean computer screens
You don’t need too many tools to clean your computer screen. All you need is a bottle of screen cleaning spray or filtered water and a soft, microfiber, lint-free cloth.
- Cleaning solution
- Soft, microfiber, lint-free fabric
If you don’t have the above specialized tools, don’t worry. You can also use common everyday things instead, such as rubbing alcohol, white vinegar and distilled water (I recommend just using distilled or filtered water to keep it healthy), and a roll of toilet paper is enough (super soft ones for babies are even better). Because paper towels are lint, if you are not used to using them, you can switch to using soft cotton towels. Remember to absolutely avoid anything hard that can easily scratch the screen.
In short, if you have specialized tools, the better, but if you don’t, it’s okay.
How to clean computer screen
Before spraying water on the screen, Make sure you have turned off the device completely. If using a PC, just turn off the screen Laptops Then turn off the laptop completely.
If you think that you can spray water at this point, you are wrong. Droplets from liquids may flow onto the screen edges, causing electrical problems. On laptops, steam can enter the heatsink and keyboard, as well as run into the bezel.
Instead, spray the solution first onto the fabric.
Hold the cloth firmly in your hand, and clean the screen by moving both your wrist and arm (if you remember the principle of holding the right hand, you can apply it :v), avoiding unnecessary force. Start at the top left corner and work your way toward the center of the screen. Don’t push the cloth from the left side to the right side close to the screen edge. At that time, it was easy for dust and dirt to get into the edges of the screen. You should start from the screen cleaning tablet to the center of the screen.
If the stain is too stubborn, just do it 3 or 4 times. After cleaning, let the screen dry naturally, do not use a dryer :v.

How to clean the touch screen
If you are using a 2-in-1 laptop that is both a laptop and a tablet when folded, cleaning will be a little different.
These devices attract more grease and dust than computer screens. So you will need to clean them in a slightly different way. The 2-in-1’s touchscreen is cleaned just like standard tablets and smartphones.
The main aim here is to remove grease, then clean the screen of other dirt and debris. But before doing so, remember to completely turn off the device.
