Don't use nail varnish remover on plastic. It may damage it.

I keep a bottle of isopropl alcohol for cleaning my computer screen and CD's. It will remove sticky stuff as well. You can buy it at the chemist. About £1 for 500ml. Lasts years.

EDIT: Just realised it has been solved.

Also need to clean LCD tv screens and my pc lcd screen. is that good stuff?

I had some sticky tape glue firmly stuck to a PDA, but that was on the screen, not on the boty of it. I rubbed it with the corner of a microfibre cloth soaked in a bit of nail polish remover. Did the trick in a few seconds. Don't know if the screen is glass or plastic though.

Isopropyl alcohol, aka isopropanol. Assuming they don't have glass fronts, I wouldn't recommend using anything else. Put the cleaner on a soft, lint free cloth, not directly onto the screen, just in case.

If the screen was plastic, which is more than likely for a PDA, and the nail varnish remover was acetone, you were lucky.

dont use any alchocl based products on the screen of lcds or plasmas it will leave screen burn which is where if you touch it when the screen is on you get a ring round your finger only thing is it wont go away i use a jaycloth with the tiniest amount of water on and make sure the telly is cold

Actually, I always thought nail varnish remover was only acetone. :think:

I use it on LCD screens. Be gentle though. As Stephen mentioned above, make sure the cloth is klint free. An old cotton T-shirt does well.

A lot of nail varnish removers are acetone free. I don't know why. Maybe some people are allergic to it.
