How to clean computer and television screens

Cleaning screens benefits both your work and personal enjoyment. However, do you really know how to do it? You must be very careful and make it a habit that you can teach your children.

  1. People have always used damp cloths as cleaning tools. You can use them to clean your screens quickly. However, they don’t completely remove dirt nor do they protect screens.
  2. Dusters are great options. They help you remove all the dirt immediately and eliminate dust instead of displacing it. So, they help you clean screens easily, without great effort.
  3. Keep in mind that screens are thin glass. Therefore, you shouldn’t use aggressive products or cloths that leave marks on the surface. Don’t even think about using overly porous scourers or sponges.
  4. You must be very careful while cleaning screens, since applying too much moisture could damage your devices. Similarly, you shouldn’t rub too hard or strike the screens in any way.

To clean computer and television screens, you can use special cleaning products that give surprising results. A perfect example is mixing water and isopropyl alcohol (125 ml per 500 ml of water).

This formula doesn’t damage screens or other materials. Also, you can find special cleaners with alcohol on the market that are very effective and can improve viewing quality, especially for plasma screens.

Another option are hypoallergenic and biodegradable cloths. They don’t damage screens and are pleasant to the touch.

As for common window cleaners, it’s best to avoid them, since some are somewhat aggressive and can produce a negative effect in the long term.

Formulas to prevent dust

To be exact, no specific formulas remove dirt quickly. It soon reappears. Therefore, it’s advisable to ventilate your rooms every day, avoid filling them with too many elements, and make sure to clean regularly.

In short, the goal is for you to improve your spaces and leave them in cleaner and more natural conditions to ensure comfort and well-being. Only then will you be able to enjoy a good time with your family while you’re watching TV or using the computer.
