If you want to clean your screen, and you don't have SafeClean.<br /> For a glass screen. 1 spoonful of meths in 3 litres of lukewarm water<br /> For a plastic screen. 1 sml spoonfull of fresh lemon juice or white vinegar in 2 litres of luke warm water.<br /> Clean with old fluffy T-Shirts (nice and soft). Gently on the plastic screens<br /> But as I said before. It depends on your environment. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cleaning-laptop-screen#post-19450 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:26:10 +0000 Lighthouse 19450@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@whs. depends if it's a glass or plastic screen </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cleaning-laptop-screen#post-19449 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:23:00 +0000 whs 19449@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>A moist (and I say moist - not wet) microfiber cloth works best. I would not use any chemicals. Maybe an itty bitty bit of dish detergent. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cleaning-laptop-screen#post-19438 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:07:05 +0000 Lighthouse 19438@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>NO... </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cleaning-laptop-screen#post-19434 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 21:57:34 +0000 Aleeve 19434@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ScottW, lighthouse was talking about '1 testicle' at which point I became worried and stopped nosing in on the topic!</p> <p>i have meths, shall i put that on a rag and then wipe over screen then? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cleaning-laptop-screen#post-19398 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 20:50:26 +0000 Lighthouse 19398@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ScottW. you don't know me very well.
