How to properly wash an LCD or CRT monitor.

Monitor cleaning instructions

Monitor cleaning instructions

1. Get eyeglass cleaner, or a Monitor cleaning kit from an electronics, or computer store. You can also get those cans full of paper towels which already have monitor cleaning solution on it.

Never use house hold cleaners like bleach, ammonia, alcohol  or  other harsh chemicals to clean your monitor since it could break, discolour, or scratch the monitor.

2. Get a clean soft lint-free piece of clothe. Don’t use paper towels since they can scratch your monitor. I recommend cotton or microfibre clothe.

3. apply the monitor cleaning solution to the clothe, but not directly on the monitor since the liquid can get between the monitor and the electronics and short-circuit the display which will break the monitor.

4. Gently wipe the monitor with the clothe, and try not to apply too much pressure since you might break an LCD monitor if too much pressure is apply.  

5. Wait for the cleaning liquid to dry before turning your monitor on.
