What to do and what not to do when cleaning the computer screen

Although it is important to know that there are certain things that should not be done when cleaning an LCD monitor or an HDTV. Since damage can be generated.

Therefore, we leave you a list with some things that should not be done if we are going to clean the screen. Since it is important to know:

• Do not use a sharp object or nails to remove dry or hard stains. Do not use sprays, aerosols, solvents or abrasives to clean the screen. Use of liquids is not recommended. Do not use a cloth or hard cloth. Do not shoot a spray directly at the screen.

These are some of the things that manufacturers themselves recommend against doing. Surely many of them you already know. In addition to this we have some things that are recommended to do when cleaning the screen of our computer. These are the following:

• Use a dry, soft, lint-free cloth or rag. The preference is for a micro-fiber cloth to be used. In some cases, one usually comes with the computer screen or television. If you have that, use it. Use a combination of water and a mild soap

How to clean the monitor or TV

First, we must clean the monitor a with a dry, lint-free cloth or rag. The ideal would be to use the one that came when we bought the screen. But in case we do not find this, we can use one that came when we bought the laptop or other devices. We pass this cloth over the screen in question. Many of the stains should have been removed. Although there are always some that are more resistant.

So in this case we are going to need a second cloth and a combination of hot water with a little soap to clean the dishes. We drop a drop of soap in the hot water, very little, and mix. The first thing we do is run the dry cloth across the screen to remove dust. Then we put the other cloth in the soapy water. We wring it out and then carefully pass the screen. The key in this regard is that it is somewhat wet, not really wet. So it is important to drain it.

We wipe this wet cloth on the monitor and check if the stains have been removed. If necessary, we repeat the process a couple of times until it is clean. Once we have finished with this cloth, we use the dry cloth again and we pass it on the screen. Since this way we are going to eliminate any rest of the soap on the monitor. In this way we have already cleaned it.

With these steps the monitor of your computer or TV should be definitely clean. You can see that it is a simple process. Although it is important to have the right cloths for it, since we do not want to scratch the screen of the computer or the TV at any time.
