While his colleagues are mainly underground special windows that require LCD screens in the same way we can clean our windows special attention. Improper cleaning can substantial financial investment in the form of a new screen cause since I recently learned the hard way.

• Gently with a soft non-abrasive cloth to wipe the dust off the screen. To remove excessive pressure on stubborn stains such as fingerprints do not apply. These can be later removed by using a cleaning solution. You can buy microfiber fabric stores or perhaps computer stores. I could not find in these countries and found the market for optical fiber is too small. The fiber is used to clean the glasses. I use my old cotton T-shirt that Econet is ideally smooth. You can wear a T-shirt or scarf soft cotton. Make sure it makes it difficult not to leave lint behind the pieces and their cleaning.
• Mixing a solution of 50% water and 50% vinegar for use as a cleaning solution. Vinegar is in most supermarkets. It is also preferable to distilled water that you get in drugstores to use battery, or you can use bottled water because it is cleaner than tap water. Avoid nasty poison that comes out of our taps by all means. Do not use Windowlene.
• Dip half of the cloth in the solution and squeeze to make sure it moist but not too wet.
• Wipe the stains and dirt on your screen work in a circular motion. Avoid pressure on the screen. No scraping stubborn stains can be only suitable to penetrate and dissolve, then wipe gently.
• Periodically dip the cloth in the cleaning solution.
• Clean the last frame, with the same solution. Clean the first image will have in dirt, which is transmitted to the screen result.
• Let the display before turning on the device and the device.

Touchscreens can handle much more abuse the TV screens and laptops so the afternoon should be treated with care. I USED Windolene my own computer screen for years until a few weeks the screen just went white. I had to pay through the nose for a replacement. So, just because your cleaning method does not ruin your screen does not mean you should continue to use. You have been warned.
