Cleaning LCD screens.

[vivandorron]

What is the best method to clean Computer and TV screens.?

Am I doing any harm by using kitchen paper moistened with water and a minute amount of washing-up liquid.?

That's brilliant noth, I've got that at work but they won't let me use it!

[oscarina]

I use lens spectacle cleaner and the little cloth that comes with spectacles works a treat. You can buy a little spray for £2 in the opticians!

[vivandorron]

Noth3....I've already tried the pup with great amusement and, whilst he/she does a good job on the inside of the screen, I am left with the outer surface still to be cleaned. Consequently I go along with your second posting. Furthermore,I think oscarina's suggestion is excellent.

boxtops...How do you clean your screen if you are not allowed to use a doggie.??!!

[deggers316]

your doing the right thing a smidgen of wash liquid and a soft cloth DON press hard on the screen though, lightly does it

[deggers316]

better still DON'T press hard

[scotman]

I use spectacle cleaner with soft cloth or specialist product called 'Safeclens' with soft cloth.

[vivandorron]

I am pleased deggers316 that you approve of my using a smidgen of washing-up liquid and ,bearing in mind what Noth3 has said about the possibility of scratching with a wood fibre product, a soft cloth appears to be necessary with a gentle touch. However, I am starting to think that perhaps spectacle cleaner , as suggested by oscarina and scotman could be the answer.... I must therefore check-out products such as Safeclens.

there's no need Ron to go to any expense you doing it right already its only light static dust / grime on the screen
my Samsung and a friends Lg lcd tv came with a soft cleaning cloth like you get with specs it says just wipe over with it damp

Spit and a cuff does the trick, gentle spit though, not a deep down phlegmy greeny one

[vivandorron]

Elvis, I've tried spit and polish but it's not the answer...possibly because I am a smoker. Consequently, I regret saying deggers that it could be a little more than just static grime.

Anyway the screen is perfect at the moment because I cleaned it earlier this evening as indicated in my question. Although, henceforth I think I shall avoid using kitchen paper and apply gentle pressure with a cloth that has a smidgen of washing-up liquid on it.
