How to Clean a Dell Laptop Monitor

Clean your Dell laptop monitor with screen cleaning wipes.

A Dell laptop is a costly electronic device that must be cared for properly so you can get the most possible use out of the laptop without deterioration in quality or appearance. Laptop monitors are made of a heavy-duty plastic that is typically anti-static, so will reduce the buildup of dust and dirt. You do, however, need to figure out a cleaning routine that removes the dust that does accumulate over time, as well as any fingerprints or similar residue.

Things You'll Need

• Soft cloth
• Water
• Screen cleaning wipes

Instructions

1. Turn off and unplug the Dell laptop.

2. Wipe over the monitor with a damp cloth moistened only with tap water.

3. Rub a screen cleaning wipe gently over the Dell laptop screen for thicker buildup or sticky fingerprints that water alone won't remove.

4. Let the Dell laptop monitor dry before turning on again.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't use soaps, detergent or other cleaning products on the Dell laptop monitor, as this leaves behind a residue and can often destroy the monitor.
