My laptop screen gets dirty quickly. Whether from talking to close, drinking a carbonated beverage, or just random little stubborn dots that magically appear and mar my photo-editing abilities.
Are there better products for cleaning a screen besides a damp cloth? Does one work better on a matte screen?

I asked a similar question here, and got a variety of helpful answers. Best answers include
I have found that baby wipes are fine, but your mileage may vary. The microfiber cloth + distilled water sounds like the safest thing to me. |
I have tried a few, and the iKlear product is my favorite. The Monster Cable brand iClean is absolutely awful. http://www.klearscreen.com/iKlear.aspx -Joe |
Eyeglass cleaner! Where I work as an optician , it's sold in bottles for $5 which comes with a microfiber cloth. Different versions can be found at any retail glasses shop and lots of drug stores. We also have pre-moistened disposable lens cleaner towelettes, which you tear open like wet naps and use once then throw away. Not environmentally friendly, but much better to keep in a laptop case, etc, or for travel. They are advertised as working on eyeglasses, but also camera lenses, laptop screens, cellphones, etc. As far as I know theres a VERY little bit of soapy something in them, and a little bit of alcohol. |
The best cleaner I have found is Brillianize plastic cleaner ( http://www.brillianize.com/ ) & a microfiber cloth. I have an 8 oz bottle which has lasted me a long time. I also use this, with great results for cleaning & polishing CD's & DVD's. Highly recommended. |
A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.
