There’s even more to love about the Photodon Ultra screen cleaner! This such a powerful and safe cleaner; it possesses many uses and one of them is optical cleaning.
Photodon Ultra is a natural, herbal based cleaner that although incredibly safe for the user, (and the environment), is highly effective at removing smudges caused by finger prints or anything else you may get on your lenses.

We offer a 2oz bottle paired up with two high quality lens microfiber cloths made from a fine, silky feeling microfiber. Another positive feature of this kit is how portable it is! And at such a great value, you may as get a few to have on hand in car, in your purse/pocket, or briefcase!

The screen cleaning kits offered in our store are carefully and thoughtfully put together. Here at Photodon.com, we take in consideration that sometimes it’s a little bit easier for our customers if the best microfiber cloth is placed with the best cleaner; a match that has already been successfully tested and tried by us and others.

Often times you hear about how wonderful a microfiber cloth is but seldom do you know exactly what to use it on/for.

You’ll find that the biggest key factor when choosing a cloth is the “lint” level of the material. Cloths that are tightly woven or looped woven, normally are a low lint cloth. These are ideal for screen cleaning, or delicate surface cleaning.

Cloths that have cut fibers instead of loops tend to be quite linty as they are sheered at the ends.
This material is best used on general surfaces such a counter tops, equipment polishing, dusting and so on.


Below is a table that will hopefully help clarify the difference between the different weaves and textures.

That’s why here at Photodonwe offer the option of customizing our Computer Monitor Hoods, Screen Protective Films, and Microfiber Cloths.

In the past we have made monitor hoods for desk top monitors, medical/lab monitors, special testing facilities for students, and many more!

These custom hoods are not available on our website, but all it takes is an email or phone call to our friendly customer service staff and they will will connect you with a “hood expert”. We will work step by step with you building a sturdy, solid product that will meet all your privacy/glare reduction needs.

Our Screen Protective Films are easily custom cut with the horizontal and vertical dimensions provided by you. You have options of crystal clear or anti glare, round or square corners, and with larger quantity orders, we can die cut your film for special sizing and shapes. To place an order for a custom screen protector, see our “Universal and Custom Sizes” category, or you can call/email us.

Microfiber cloths are a great way to promote your business! Many of our high quality cloths can be screen printed, embossed, or have a specially printed tag with your company’s logo, image or motto printed on it. There are also options of all over prints, special edging, and sizing. Even the packaging of the microfiber cloths can be custom. See our Promotional Cloths page or contact us for more information.

If you ever have any questions about customizing one of our products, please contact us! We’d love to hear from you.

Before a product is added to our store, we test it in our offices, in our workshops, at our homes, at our family and friend’s homes; sometimes we even send out samples in exchange for consumer feedback.
If it doesn’t fly with us, we won’t even try to sell it to you! And believe me, we’ve tested quite a bit of product!
What we put forward is what we know to be the best, and our customers deserve the best.

There are a lot of businesses out there that offer specialty cleaners, microfiber cloths, monitor hoods, and screen protective film. So we’re working hard to give you good enough reason to shop our store and keep you coming back.

Although good products at good prices is only “a piece of the pie”. Our customer service staff is friendly and accommodating. If you ever have a question or concern about a product, your order, or how we do business, a real, live, person will answer your call or respond to your email.
If there is a problem, we’ll go out of our way to make it right.
Your satisfaction matters to us. YOU matter to us. You’re not an order number here! You’re a very important part of how we run our online store and you’ll always be appreciated for stopping by.

We have the ability of fulfilling large orders, and custom orders, but we want to give that small town store feel when you’re doing business with us.

Remember we’re always opened to suggestions! Follow us on Twitter, Like us of Facebook, or contact us via phone or email. We’d love to hear from you.

Here at Photodon.com, we’re always looking for more ways to do our part in keeping a cleaner environment.

So if you’re curious as to why the box that we shipped your order in looks like it was used before, it probably was; or why we used newspaper for packaging instead of a plastic mold, we have a lot of people giving us their old papers.
These are our “little things” that we practice to do our part for “greener” tomorrows.

We also want to help YOU do your part so we offer products like microfiber cloths, natural cleaning solutions, and longer lasting screen protective films.

Not everything we offer is as “green” as we would like, so we ask you to be responsible when discarding used products.

Remember to reuse spray bottles, or recycle them where such plastics are accepted.
Use your lens wipes till they’re dry and make sure they’re disposed of in the proper baskets.

We’ve found the US EPA (United Sates Environmental Protection Agency) to be a very good source of information for where to recycle everything from plastics to used electronics! We suggest you bookmark this site as they are a very useful resource on how to care/help the environment.

We follow and feature some great folks who are wonderful advocates for recycling and for the environment, so come check them out on our Twitter and FaceBook pages.

Thank you for following this and all our blogs! Your feedback has been absolutely refreshing and we appreciate the time you take to leave your comments. We hope this week’s blog was useful to you!

• If glare is an issue and you have a non-touch screen display, our MXS film type is what you’ll want to choose. It is a thicker, non-glare film which will protect your display and cut down bothersome light reflections.
• Touch screen displays with glare issues would require a thinner film as to not interfere with the touch capabilities. We suggest our MXT type film. It shares the same anti-reflective properties as the MXS but is slightly thinner.
• Our MXA film type is a crystal clear film that offers protection and works great on most touch screen applications. If you’re not concerned with cutting down glare but would like an inexpensive way to protect your investment, this is it.

For more detailed information about film types, see our Film Type Comparison chart. You can also visit our main film page for further information and a list of the benefits that screen protective film has to offer.

• 1.) Creating a shaded environment helps to achieve screen color consistency for accurate and reliable color calibration for color-critical applications such as computer graphics and desktop publishing. Photodon monitor hoods mentioned in Photo Techniques Magazine, Sept/Oct 2003, article “Calibrating the Digital Darkroom”
• 2.) Most office environments are lit from above with fluorescent lights, which are great for the reading of paper documents. The same lighting causes screen image washout and a loss of screen contrast. The monitor hood is most effective in reducing this type of ambient (surrounding) light and creates a shaded environment.
• 3.) Light streaming in through windows can cause screen washout, depending on monitor position. Screen washout may only occur for a few minutes a day but sometimes lasts for up to several hours. The length and quality of washouts can change daily and with the shifting of the seasons.
• 4.) A monitor hood provides privacy, especially in areas where computers are side by side, such as in libraries, computer labs, cyber-cafes, classrooms and the workplace. Also, in an area where sensitive materials and documents are handled, such as banks and law offices, a hood will keep confidential information secure in sensitive environments.
• 5.) Reducing the amount of glare on your screen can help reduce eyestrain. Because the eyes play such a large roll in processing information for the screen viewer, any reduction in screen glare can have health benefits including a reduction in eyestrain, fatigue and headaches.

We offer adjustable Monitor Hoods which can be customized to fit your specific needs. We also offer many Hoods to fit iMac, Apple Cinemas, and Hoods for laptops. Visit our Montior Hood page for more information or to make a purchase. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us! Remember that we’re FaceBook so find our Fan Page and we’re also on Twitter now so feel free to follow us!

• Wear darker clothing. Lighter colored clothing reflects more light, creating a reflection on the screen.
• Place the monitor so that the brightest light sources are off to the side and not directly behind the user.
• Close shades or curtains.
• Turn off overhead lights or any lights that are directly behind the user.
• An individual task light may replace other lights, but be sure that it does not shine onto the screen or your eyes.
• A glare-reducing screen is also an option but be sure it does not affect the overall screen brightness, especially of the on screen whites. Or, if you’re concerned about color calibration, make sure the screen isn’t tinted.
• Tilting the screen slightly downward also helps in reducing reflections but may not be ergonomically correct, unless you raise the monitor up.
• A hood, such as the one offered by Photodon, is a great solution, especially if reducing the amount of light is not possible. (thought I might just throw that in.) A hood can effectively reduce the amount of ambient light from the sides and above from reaching the surface of the screen.

Visit our website for even more ways to help reduce bothersome screen glaring. We offer many sizes of Screen Protective Films, (available in Anti-Glare) and Monitor Hoods.
