Clean Multifunction Display

How are you all cleaning your large, multifunction display's?

I'm using touch screen wipes (Nice'nClean), then lightly using a microfiber cloth.

Just curious method works best, could not find anything in the manual about it.

My cleaner is 50/50 of isopropyl alcohol and water, microfibre cloth.

can be used on glass, plastic, metal, just about anything, spot cleaning, will not harm your ceramic coating, and so on

i mix it in a spray bottle and either spray directly onto the surface, or onto the microfibre cloth.

if you like clean glass it’s great around the house as well....

I use a similar technique also, but if you are really really short on time, you can buy screen wipes and use those.

I've never had good luck with any pre-moistened wipes -- they always seem to leave a residue behind. So for any screen -- plastic or glass, I use an alcohol-based glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth that is only used on interior glass and screens. For example, Sprayway glass cleaner is about $3 at Home Depot or Target, less if you buy the 4-pack at BJs (and some Costcos). Stoner Perfect Glass is very similar, but it's a specialty item that is harder to find and is a couple of bucks more expensive.

Always spray the cleaner on the cloth, not on the screen. I only spray on the exterior windows directly, and since it foams up, it doesn't cause significant dripping... for everything else, I fold the microfiber cloth to quarter size (once in each direction) and then spray one side and wipe the screen. Then turn the cloth to the dry side to wipe any remaining residue so it's completely dry. When you need a clean cloth, just refold the towel again.

Lesson learned a long time ago: DON'T use the same cloth you use on glass as a duster (e.g., on the dash), as it will pick up all sorts of lint. Then when you clean the screen or your interior glass, you'll leave the lint behind. Also, use a separate cloth for exterior windows, I have some blue microfibers that I use on interior glass and the screens (but nothing else), and then I have a bunch of yellow ones that I use on everything else...

You can also use the Sprayway on polished wood in the car, the plastic trim / controls /etc. You can even use it on the plastic dash -- i use a light spray on a cloth to clean dust and light fingerprints/smudges off the various plastic / interior chrome.

NEVER use ammonia based cleaners, like regular Windex, on any plastic item -- it will ultimately strip the anti-glare coating off screens and will make plastic trim brittle over time.

Side question here... How many of you still have the original screen protector stuck on the screen? I still have it and it doesn't bother me.
