Cleaning

[psp83]

I've just went to clean my laptop screen, monitors and tv's and found out that i've got no cleaner left 

To be honest. The cleaner i had was never that good anyways..

Question is.. What is the best cleaner to use for laptops and flat screen (LCD) monitors/HD tvs 

I'm tired of having marks left on the screen and dust back on them within 5secs of cleaning.

I use a anti-static foam cleaner at work, something like this http://www.office365.co.uk/Computer-Accessories/907832-5-Star-Office.htm

Wendy just uses a soft damp cloth (almost dry) DO NOT use whilst the machine or screen is hot let it cool down and you will find it will not smear.......works every time and found it better than any cleaner.

Wendy cleans the monitors as she convinced me that hot bleach was no good for it so I agreed that she had  better do this job,me being so simple and all   

Message from She polish the surface lightly with kitchen roll.......

I've always heard that a damp cloth is best. Certainly don't use anything with chemicals that could damage the coating on the screen.

I use a slightly damp Microfibre cloth and then polish it with a dry one. If there is a mark that this won't remove then I use a soft damp cloth with a 'very' small drop of Fairy Liquid followed by just a damp cloth and then a dry one.

I was told you should avoid any cleaner containing ammonia (apparently it attacks the screen.) Lots of office and foam cleaners have it in.

I use this stuff alcohol free screen cleaner handpump spray, with a microfiber cloth, works on flat screen tv's too, a bottle lasts me about a year

I use a plant sprayer to spray a very thin film of plain water on the screen, and use a micro-fibre cloth to wipe and polish.  I do the same with my plasma TV, and it always seems to work well.  For stubborn marks, a baby wipe sometimes does the trick, as some of them contain a very mild soap.

I've always used a spray for coated spectacle lenses with a microfibre cloth.

Thats the kind of thing that is in the stuff I Rik, it can be used on camera optics also

The best I've found is cotton wool balls. One slightly moistened with tepid water for cleaning, and a dry one to buff it up. I wouldn't use anything else, now.

Oh - works just as well on glass.

So breathing on it heavily and giving a rub with my sleeve is a    then.
