Knowledge CenterWhat Can I Clean on My Monitor?
Use a “screen-cleaning cloth” or a “soft cloth with IPA (or water)”. Avoid ethanol, rubbing alcohol, and bleach, which can damage the monitor’s surface.
For the best results, clean your screen with a slightly dampened cloth, ideally a microfiber one—do not spray directly on the screen. Microfiber cloths effectively lift germs and dust without scratching or scuffing the glare-free surface. The dampness helps remove fingerprints with minimal rubbing.
3 steps for Cleaning Monitor
1. Unplug the Monitor
Make sure your display is completely powered down. Electronics and fluids
don’t mix, and it’s best to not clean an active LCD, and the transistors that
control each pixel are sensitive to pressure when the monitor is on.
2. Avoid Too Much Liquid
Use as little liquid as possible, since we know electronics and fluids don’t
mix well. Whatever you’re using, even if it’s just regular water, don’t use too
much.
3. Apply VERY Mild Pressure
Don’t press on the screen as you’re wiping it off. Whether you’re using circular motions, or wiping up and down, or side to side, make sure not to apply pressure. Allow the cleaning cloth to glide gently over the monitor. Excessive pressure can cause dead pixels, uniformity issues, dirty screen effects, and even light bleed.
