177503 2003-09-24 01:52:00 Hi all,

I need to clean the screen on my laptop, I can see little bits of dirt over my movies...

Is there a right or wrong way to do this?

Is a glass cleaner like Mr Muscle (et all) ok or will it smear?


TIA

177505 2003-09-24 02:00:00 Its not made of glass, so don't use glass cleaner. Its made of plastic and many glass cleanrs advise not to use them on plastic.

Safest way is a moist (not wet or even damp, just moist) lint-free cloth.

You must avoid any moisture running down the bottom and getting into the electronics.

Otherwise, just common sense

The screens are glass --- if they were plastic they wouldn't break so expensively . :D

What you can damage with harsh cleansers are anti-reflective coatings, and maybe a plastic film anti-scratch layer .
