I know about those spray cans that contain
stuff you spray on an LCD monitor to clean it. However, I have an LCD monitor that looks like somebody sneezed on it while their mouth was full of soup. That cleaner spray doesn't do much on this monitor (I know because I tried). What would you use to clean an LCD monitor that has a lot of "foreign material" on it?

I've used diluted alcohol (50/50 mix) with good result.

I would also recommend using distilled water and not tap water, as the
dissolved minerals in tap water might leave visible streaks. -Bill Clark > I've used diluted alcohol (50/50 mix) with good result. > > -j > > On 9/21/10 11:13 AM, Jon Forrest wrote: >> I know about those spray cans that contain >> stuff you spray on an LCD monitor to clean >> it.

I use half and half distilled water and vinegar (whited distilled) in a spray bottle and a microfiber cloth. I spray a bit onto the cloth, not onto the monitor and clean off the screen and wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.

Guy, that’s definitely the route I would advise doing
(also good for cleaning microwave ovens!).
Whatever you chose, its best to avoid those Clorox cleaning towelettes/wipes
that come out the top of a plastic container, or at least make sure that they
are bleach free. I’ve had the unfortunate experience of having to toss
away a monitor because a user didn’t realize that the chemicals in the moist
wipes contained bleach (and probably some strong alcohols) that slowly melted
away layers of the screen over the constant use and it left a very weird and
hazy glow that ruined the monitor. Best of luck! -Edgar Ortega From:

Not sure what is in simple green but anything I can spray on my salad is OK in my book. I have wasted too much money and gotten only fair results with some of the commercial products out there to clean screens... simple distilled water and white vinegar seems to work best of everything I have found.

I have to agree... this is priceless. I personally use my cats to remove dust from my screen at home. Now if I could only get them to not try and scratch the mouse cursor.
