How do I clean a laptop screen safely?

Laptop screens can gather fingerprints, dust, and smudges. Cleaning them safely ensures clarity without causing damage. 

Safe Cleaning Steps

  1. Turn Off the Laptop: It’s easier to see smudges on a dark screen and prevents unwanted electrical issues. 
  2. Soft Cloth: Use a microfibre cloth, which is gentle and won’t scratch the screen. 
  3. Avoid Direct Liquid: Never spray any solution directly on the screen. Instead, dampen the cloth slightly with distilled water or a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar. 
  4. Gentle Circles: Wipe the screen gently in a circular motion, ensuring no pressure which might damage the pixels. 
  5. Dry It: Use another part of the cloth or a different cloth to dry the screen. 

Regular cleaning not only provides a clearer view but also prolongs the lifespan of your screen.
