How to Clean a Scratched Pen Tablet Screen

A scratched pen tablet screen comes with a pen that moves over it. The pen leaves small trace marks, but these are not scratches. Scratches are caused by hard objects striking the screen. If the screen becomes scratched, the user can't be as precise when drawing. In most cases, the screen will need to be replaced to restore the function of the device. However, if the screen is still working well enough for your needs, cleaning it is an essential part of its maintenance.

Things You'll Need

• Microfiber cloths (2)
• Dish washing detergent

Instructions

1. Wipe the screen in a circular motion with a microfiber cloth. This type of cloth is soft and lint-free, which protects the screen from further scratches.

2. Dampen the cloth with water then wring it out thoroughly.

3. Add two drops of mild dish washing detergent onto the cloth. Then wring it out again.

4. Wipe down the surface in a circular motion. Avoid the scratched areas if they are deep because the moisture could damage the screen if it gets inside.

5. Dry the screen with the second microfiber cloth.
