Dust and other dirt deposits are not only unsightly, but they can also damage the screen. That’s why you should clean it regularly. We will show you how to properly clean and care for your monitor and screen.
Whether the PC is open in the room or whether it is covered; the problem of dust accumulation on the screen can never really be solved. But other dirt build-ups, such as liquids or body fat, can also make the screen unsightly and damage it.
1) Remove dust and loose dirt
In most cases, only dust sticks to the screen. You can easily wipe away the dust and other dirt that is not too sticky. It is best to use a microfiber cloth to avoid damaging the vulnerable screen.
- First, you should cover the keyboard with paper or film so that the particles that are thrown up don’t get into the sensitive spaces and cause damage there.
- You can now wipe away the loose dust with a soft cloth. Try to catch the dust directly in the cloth so it doesn’t kick up and settle back on the screen.
- Be careful not to soil external devices during the process, otherwise, you can use the same cloth to clean the devices such as speakers or hi-fi devices again.
- To avoid damaging the desktop, be careful with the microfiber cloth. If you press on too hard, the sensitive screen surface may be damaged. These can quickly become very expensive. That’s why you should take a little more time with the monitor care.
2) Clean the screen properly and quickly
In the following video, you will find instructions on how to properly clean your monitor. You should avoid liquid cleaners and kitchen paper and prefer to use a microfiber cloth.
3) Liquid detergent should be avoided when maintaining the monitor
Unsightly stains from liquids or even grease cannot be easily removed with a microfiber cloth without possibly damaging the screen. The use of liquid cleaning agents is also problematic, as they can easily damage the fine gaps; and once the cleaner is running, you can’t stop it that easily. That is why liquid cleaning agents should be almost strictly avoided.
4) Screen cleaner is the best solution
A screen cleaner is specially designed to clean a monitor without damaging it. Since the surface of monitors is quite prone to scratches or stains, we recommend that you buy a screen cleaner or get a whole set right away. These will help you quickly and easily remove the grease stains.
