The screen I just bought for less than a week but it’s so dirty, full of water jets, glossy streaks, but mostly dust. Maybe it’s because I eat in the working corner :v so it’s like that. Ready to clean the screen, so write an article to guide you to clean it safely and easily.

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 the screen clean. As for the screens? LED or OLED TV the 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 viewing experience of content on that screen will be significantly reduced.
Those are the signs that your screen needs cleaning. This cleaning process only takes a few minutes, but in return, you will get a screen as shiny as when you bought it.
Tools needed to clean the computer screen
You do not need too many tools to clean the computer screen. Just a bottle of screen cleaner or filtered water will do and a soft, microfiber, lint-free cloth.
- Cleaning fluid
- Soft, microfiber, lint-free fabric
If you don’t have the above tools, don’t worry. You can also use everyday things instead, such as rubbing alcohol, white vinegar and distilled water (I recommend using distilled or filtered water for it to heal), and a roll of paper. Hygiene is enough (the super soft for babies is even better). Because the paper towel is lint, if you are not used to it, you can switch to using a soft cotton towel. Remember to absolutely avoid anything hard, easy to scratch the screen.
In short, if you have specialized tools, the better, but if you don’t have them, 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, and Laptop then turn off the laptop completely.
If you think you can spray water here, you’re wrong. Drops of water from the liquid can seep into the screen bezel, causing electrical problems. On laptops, steam can enter the heatsink and keyboard, as well as run into the bezel.
Instead, spray the solution first on the fabric.
Hold the cloth firmly in your hand, and wipe the screen by moving both your wrist and arm (if you remember the principle of holding your right hand, you can apply it :v), avoiding unnecessary force. Start at the top left corner and wipe in a direction towards the center of the screen. Do not push the cloth from the left side to the right side close to the edge of the screen. At that time, it is easy for dirt to get into the edge of the screen. Should start from the screen to wipe the center of the screen.
If any stain is too stubborn, just do it 3 4 times. After cleaning, let the screen dry naturally, do not use the dryer :v.
How to clean old-fashioned CRT screens
Nowadays, Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors are rare, but they can still be found in old net shops. You can even buy a video game console with a CRT screen, or simply buy an old CRT TV you want.
Preparation tools:
- Anti-static fabric
- Lint-free fabric
- Screen cleaning solution (can use glass cleaner)
Starting with an anti-static cloth and cleaning solution, wipe the case clean.
Next, spray the screen cleaning solution on a lint-free cloth, wipe the screen in the same way, wiping in the center of the screen. If the cloth is dry, just spray more solution on the cloth and then wipe it again.
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 monitors. So you will need to clean them in a slightly different way. The 2-in-1’s touchscreen is cleaned just like a standard smartphone or tablet.
The main purpose here is to remove grease, then clean the screen of other dirt and debris. But before doing so, remember to turn off the device completely.
After cleaning the computer screen, what to do next?
Summary of steps to clean the computer screen:
- Turn off the screen
- Start with a microfiber cloth and screen cleaning solution
- Spray the solution on the fabric
- Wipe the screen in the direction towards the center of the screen
If you are using a laptop, follow the same steps. And carry the cloths in your bag when you go out, trust me they will be very useful at times.
Meanwhile, if you’re using a CRT monitor, follow the same steps, but keep in mind that you can use glass cleaner. The case and screen should also be wiped clean with an anti-static cloth.
Finally, if you use a 2-in-1 or touchscreen laptop, you’ll need to be extra mindful of grease issues. After cleaning the screen, you should also clean other electronic devices such as keyboards and mice.
