    Does anyone know of a simple sure-fire way to clean LCD screens, especially on laptops. You really can't apply too much pressure!

    i use the things you use to clean glasses... not the dry ones, because this is electroctatic, but the wet ones.


    You don't know where to start ? ask a good friend

                Isn't that getting a bit personal?

                        ask the police to borrow their water cannon. That should do the trick ;P. Seriously though, a cloth which is a little moist should do the trick for you...

                            In other words you are petting the cat with your computer screen.... Not sure why someone voted you down, the cat probably loves it, but I bet it doesn't reduce static electricity!

                                    that's even better - it's like a chamois ... with claws.

                                      Does anyone know of a simple sure-fire way to clean LCD screens, especially on laptops. You really can't apply too much pressure!

                                        A cat lover would know the cat would either purr from the extra attention, or sink a claw into you for the manhandling (cathandling?). My cats would have purred and helped brush the tail. :laugh: and then smiled evily when I got a static shock

                                          I use a dab of this[^] on a tea towel. It removes everything but your screen itself and lasts for years.
