"Hi, my name's Dave Andrews. Today, I'm going to show you how to clean a new computer screen. Now, most screens that come with the computers these days now are the LCD screens. This is a laptop, but you might have bought purchased a desktop that has a monitor that uses the exact same type of technology. One thing that you want to keep in mind with these screens is that you never want to spray anything on them. Some people say you can spray alcohol and things like that. That can still be damaging to the screen. Basically, all you need to do to keep your screen good and clean is to take a nice real soft sort of felty cloth like this one. Some people call this, you know, cheesecloth. There's different names for it. But just take this type of cloth, and just very gently rub on your screen kind of in a motion like this. You don't want to dig into it too hard, because you could actually damage the screen by digging into it. So, just very, very gently rub on your screen. If you have the little blotches you can do kind of a circular motion like that, and just let the texture of the cloth actually pull the dust and anything that might be stuck to the screen off of it. It's that easy to keep a new computer screen clean. My name's Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to keep a new computer monitor clean."
