I have read from other notebook manurfacturer sites and forums etc that the best type of screen cleaner (which is what I use) is an isopropyl alcohol based cleaner. They say that the concentration should be no higher than 50% but I am comfrtably using one that is 70% isopropyl alcohol. In no circumstances should you use windex or amonia based products because they apparently ruin the screen beyond repair ie without having to purchase a new screen.
Someone recommended a lint free paper towel but had no idea on a cleaning solution.
Thank you much in advance!
Never use paper towels, they are made from wood fibers and will scratch your screen, your glasses etc.. Best idea is to use a plain cotton fabric, I bought a small package of cotton diapers (not birdseye fabric) and cut them down to size for cleaning monitors, screens and eyeglasses.
When you wash the fabric don't use bleach or fabric softener as it is nearly impossible to get it all out of the fabric in the wash and it can transfer to the surface of what you are cleaning.
I also used to use the disposable wipes for cleaning my glasses but the fibers in the tissues scratched off the UV coating on my lenses, so I don't use those anymore either.
