By Tristan Jun032020 12:00AM EDT Your keyboard and mouse may be disgusting, but look closely at your display.

Displays not only pull in dust, but become dartboards for random sneezes, unexpected food or drink projectiles, and other a category of unidentifiable substances that appear somehow.

Vius Cleaner And Screen How To Safely Clean

Here, well explain how to safely clean a computer screen to eliminate the evil, embarrassing yuck glaring back at you.

You wont find a thick glass layer but instead a thin surface thats more susceptible to scratches even more so if it has an anti-glare coating.

Laptops may have more glass protection, but treat them just as carefully as an LCD with film coating.

Theyre not only ideal for cleaning your glasses, but computer monitors, smartphone and tablet screens, and more.

In fact, default to distilled water since you have no guarantee tap water wont contain small, nearly unseen mineral deposits.

If you have glued on gunk that refuses to vacate the screen, heres three common household item mixtures you can create.

For wipes, make sure they are individually wrapped and designed specifically for lenses and screens.

For instance, Care Check sells a box of 150 wipes for a mere 12 that can also be used on camera lenses, mobile devices, and more.

When shopping for a spray, be sure to hunt down the ingredients if possible.

Vius Cleaner And Screen Free Universal Screen

A good example is the Vius Streak-Free Universal Screen Cleaner that does not contain ammonia, alcohols, sulfates, or phosphates.

You dont want the liquid to drip behind the frame and cause fiery havoc on the components underneath.

The big issue is static, as the shock stemming from cleaning movements could damage the active components inside.

All of this is likely overkill for a display but switch it off anyway whether its a stand-alone or built into a laptop.

Were not actually convinced youll damage the pixels of your computer screen while its turned on, as a layer of glass sits between you and the color filter, electrodes, and LCD panel.

Still, turn it off just to be safe, and remember to treat it gently to avoid a Hulk-like smash of the monitor and its delicate components.

Turning it off will ensure you dont send your device haywire while cleaning all over.

You dont want the feather-style duster that simply thrashes dust into a cough-inducing cloud.

Instead, you want a duster that (1) doesnt cause static and (2) collects dust.

Swiffer actually made a video on how to clean a computer screen though we dont advise using the Mr.

Clean spray.
