If you’re on a laptop, you can rest assured you won’t offend anyone at the coffee shop or in the conference room with splatters from last week’s roast beef sandwich. Repeat this motion until your screen is completely clean.Ĭleaning your computer screen will provide the much-needed physical (and mental!) cleansing you so desperately deserve. Use a gentle, curricular motion to wipe down your screen completely. Never spray the screen directly or you risk component failure or electrical shock. Spray your cleaner onto a clean microfiber towel. This simple solution can be used on many household items, from windows to shower doors.

If you don’t have white vinegar, a ¼ cup of distilled water and a ¼ of rubbing alcohol will do the trick, too. If your screen needs something stronger, mix ¼ cup distilled water and ¼ cup white vinegar in a spray bottle. The first and easiest cleaner you should try is distilled water, which doesn’t contain any chemicals. For this method, the first step is to again power down your computer so that you can easily see all the debris on its screen AND so that you don’t inadvertently cause damage or burnout to the pixels. Never apply the paper towel to the actual screen of your computer. Very carefully, lightly spray a paper towel with the cleaner (don’t soak it!) and run it along the frame and base. The only areas of your monitor that can withstand multi-purpose cleaners are the frame and base of your computer.
