Keeping screens clean

People often find that laptop screens become smudged and smeared and it becomes more difficult to see the images and words. This is why it is a good idea, right from the start, to get into good habits when using your laptop and avoid eating and drinking while working on your laptop.

Laptop screens will quickly pick up grease from your fingers and splashes from drinks may make a badly noticeable mark. It is best to avoid touching laptop screens as much as possible as even with clean hands it is all to easy to make smudges on them. Keeping the area around your laptop clean will also help as this will reduce the amount of dust that settles on the screen.

If you find that despite your care, you have marks and smudges on your laptop screen, then you can clean it with a soft cloth and a proprietary cleaner, but tap water is not good to use on laptop screens. Don't rub hard or you may cause damage to the screen and could scratch it. Make sure that there is nothing rough or sharp caught up in your cloth and that you don't catch the screen with your nails.

Of course the best way of making sure that laptop screens don't get damaged while being cleaned is to reduce as far as possible the need for cleaning; if laptop screens are kept clean they will last longer and be less vulnerable to any kind of damage. Marks and smudges on laptop screens may mask real damage such as scratches or cracks.
