Looking for recommendation on how to clean a computer monitor screen

[Annie_M]

The sun just came out (shockingly) and I'm appalled at how streaked my screen is. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to clean the screen and get rid of them.

Just use damp microfiber cloth and then clean it with dry one, don't use any chemical compound on screen.

Same here... damp soft cloth only. Don't use any cleaners or soap - just water on a soft cloth will clean it up

Thank you both!!!

Sorry for necroing this thread, but how about wet wipes for electronics? Going Green, the cleaning company that services our office in Lafayette, uses them for our monitors. They work like a charm. Just a gentle wipe across the screen and any smudges or dust disappear without leaving streaks.

Hi hozalp,

You need to look closely at ingredients of products like that. Never use anything on monitors that contain Alcohol, ammonia-based cleaners (like diluted rubbing alcohol or Windex). Here's an article discussing the best ways to clean monitors: https://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-clean-your-pc-monitor/
