* categorically Scratched!

First we have to understand a dinky bit of background about Lcd screens to know why we should be careful when cleaning. Lcd stands for Liquid Crystal Display; which has crystal molecules sandwiched under layers of polarized panels.

That's why cleaning Lcds requires extra care while cleaning compared to the old glass Crt monitors!

* What You'll Need

- rubbing alcohol (aka isopropyl alcohol)

- distilled water (not tap water!)

- A soft cloth (lint-free)

* Steps

1. Dilute the rubbing alcohol into a mix with about 50% alcohol and the rest distilled water.

2. Pour this explication into a spray bottle. Old Windex bottles are good as they spray in a mist pattern with just the right estimate to get good coverage on your screen. The spray bottles that squirt a singular stream tend to drip explication all over the place.

3. Spray the mix onto a soft lint-free cloth. Old t-shirts and microfiber car wash cloths are both good choices. Large cloths are best since it helps to reduce the risk of leaving streaks on the screen from too much pressure.

4. Gradually wipe the cloth on the screen in a circular consistent motion. Apply even pressure to the cloth and be careful not to push too hard, or scrape the screen with your fingernails!

* Suggestions

- precious products that you buy at the "computer screen cleaning" aisle of your local computer store include the same basic ingredients of alcohol and water! Some even include other harmful chemicals such as ethylene glycol, which may be ok on older glass Crt monitors, but should Not be used on Lcd screens!
