| 1454911 | 2018-10-24 21:35:00 | Ok, so my new AIO cost a feckin' fortune and I've decided that regular cleaning of said product may be a good idea. So what do we recommend as a good cleaner for the whole machine, especially the screen? I have read that any cleaner needs to be alcohol-free, as well as a range of other very complicated words. For those of you that clean your equipment, what do you use and where do you get it from? |

Do not have any particular preference of brand, wipes are handy, sprays help with microfibre cloths, antistatic brushes, a dustbuster, contact cleaners that are plastic safe. HFC free compressed air. This sticky type of putty for the keyboard also handy, its washable. |

| 1454913 | 2018-10-25 02:04:00 | I wipe down my PC, monitor (other than screen itself), mouse, speakers, KB with whatever I have handy. The screen, I just use those Isopropyl based screen cleaners. No need for BS over priced nonsense. |

| 1454914 | 2018-10-25 02:42:00 | The products that are 'safe' for monitors are generally as useless as water Anything that does a good job .... well at your own risk. Ive seen the coating come off some screens :eek: Usually not an issue though and have seen the case of a laptop striped of its nice finish . :( I use window cleaner and a paper towel . NOT recommended but works . |

| 1454915 | 2018-10-25 02:48:00 | I had a blue bottle of screen cleaner bought from pbtech about 10 years ago that just ran out and a spare cloth supplied for cleaning my glasses. Google tells me screen cleaners can be made from vinegar or isopropyl alcohol and distilled water but I have no problem buying them given the last botle lasted me 10 years. |

| 1454916 | 2018-10-25 03:34:00 | vinegar is a good cleaner You'd be mad to use it on electronics or your screen. Its an acid after all "it could eliminate the oleophobic (a fancy word for oil-resistant) coating on the screen, which will create a bigger problem." www.simplemost.com lots of other things you cant use vinegar to clean in that link. :-) |

| 1454917 | 2018-10-25 06:21:00 | I just use the glasses cleaner supplied when I bought new glasses, don't know what's in it but it seems to work just fine on my laptop screen | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1454918 | 2018-10-25 07:11:00 | Just used a isopropyl alcohol wipe, provided by my optometrist, on my screen. Improved my eyesight no end!! They are good for TVs' as well |

| 1454919 | 2018-10-25 07:16:00 | hmm..it's complicated. Apparently vodka is a good substitute for isopropyl alcohol. What a decision that would be. |
