How to Clean a Computer Monitor LCD

Avoid touching your screen to prevent smudges.

Your LCD flat screen computer monitor needs extra care in keeping it clean. When you work on your computer every day or several times a week, dust tends to build up. If you touch your screen while working, you can leave fingerprints behind. Clean you monitor when you see dust or smudges. It only takes a quick minute, so do this at least once a week to keep your monitor clean.

Things You'll Need

• Eye glass cleansing cloth
• Distilled water

Instructions

1. Shut down your computer. Once everything is shut down properly, unplug your LCD flat screen computer monitor. This keeps you safe while working with the monitor, especially when dealing with liquids around your electronic devices.

2. Wipe your LCD flat screen monitor free of dust and debris using a microfiber cloth. Or purchase a cloth made especially for computer screens at your local office supply store.

3. Dampen your microfiber cloth with distilled water to get at those tough spots.
