• How to clean your screen
• Say "No" to Windex
• How to remove ink
• Can I fix a scratched LCD?

• How to clean:

  We recommend that you clean your computer when it is turned off and cool. Cleaning against the black background of a turned off screen gives you a better view of the surface. Allowing the display to cool will lessen the risk of streaking.

  Always spray your cleaning solution onto your cloth vs. spraying the solution onto the screen. This will eliminate the potential damage of liquid running underneath the frame of your display.
  If you prefer not to use a cleaning solution, dampening a microfiber cloth with water and gently wiping the screen with the cloth will remove most dust and debris.

• Windex:

  We do not recommend the use of any Windex product on computer screens or our LCD films. Windex, (and similar products), will shorten the life of the material that these screens are made of. Plus they have unknown effects on antiglare coatings. Windex is made for glass will often leave streaks on a TV or computer screen. We offer quality cleaning solutions made specifically for screen cleaning; See our full line of screen care products.

  We recommend Photodon Ultra Cleaning Kit and the Optix 4oz. Both are available separately or in cleaning kits with microfiber cloths.

• How to remove ink:

  One method which has worked well for some people is to saturate a clean microfiber cloth with isopropyl rubbing alcohol. With gentle wiping, this normally will remove most inks from a screen. However we do not recommend this sort of cleaning on a regular basis for LCD and LED screens. There can be damaging effects of using rubbing alcohol for anything more than an emergency use. It can potentially dry out the screen making brittle over time.

  For light ink marks try our notebook wipes.

• Fixing a screen scratch:

  We do not have a product for screen scratch removal, we do however have a product to protect LCD's from becoming scratched. Try our LCD protective film.

  We found these instructions for attempting a scratched LCD repair at PalmBlvd.
