Laptop Screen Cleaner

Hey,

My laptop's screen is all grubby, can anyone recommend any products for cleaning laptop LCD screens?

Not really sure if it's safe to attack my laptop with Mr. Sheen, so thought I'd best ask here first.

Any help is appreciated!

    Or you could buy a screen cleaning kit from Staples.

    If I recall correctly it cost ~£4, but should last a few years (unless you are constantly prodding your screen or have a cleaning fetish that is!)

    I use lighter fuel (petrol type not butane) on mine. Also for CRT screens.
    It's a very light alcohol which evaporates smear free very quickly. It's an excellent de-greaser which works wonders for removing the sticky residue left when you remove price tags and labels.
    Even better it's only about 70p for a 100ml tin.

    I believe any cleaning solutions that contain alcohol will take any anti-glare coating your screen came with....off!

  • the best stuff to use is isopropal alchohol. You can get it from most pharmacies
