How to clean your LCD computer or television monitor

There are many commercial solutions available for cleaning your LCD.   For some time now I've used a product called iKlear made by Meridrew Enterprises.

iKlear is easy to use and portable (important because I'm a laptop user).   iKlear works wonderfully.   Apple has tested iKlear and found it does not cause any harm to the plastics.

So how do you clean an LCD monitor screen without buying any of those expensive LCD Monitor Cleaner solutions or Monitor Wipes available in the market?

It's important to note that LCD monitors unlike CRT monitors are extremely sensitive.   Therefore you are not advised to clean an LCD Monitor by wiping it with a piece of dry lint-free cloth since the sensitive display is likely to get scratches from dust particles.

Handkerchiefs or microfiber wipes work best for cleaning LCD monitors. You can find microfiber wipes in most camera stores.   Never use tap or mineral water, as they will leave marks on the screen due to minerals and salts in the water.

You can find simple instructions and two recipes for creating your own homemade solution here at the bottom of the blog post.
