Cleaning your Flat Screen Monitor

$Account.OrganizationName
Greetings!
Cleaning your flat screen monitor

Do you have one of those fancy new flat screen monitors -- the ones that take up very little space on your desk? Aren't they wonderful? They do take special care, however. Do not use glass cleaner on these screens. They are softer than glass, so they require special handling. Keep your fingers and sharp objects away from this type of screen because they are very easily damaged or scratched.

Remove surface dust or fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth. If this doesn't do the trick, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol may be sprayed onto a damp cleaning cloth. Vinegar may be used instead of alcohol. Paper towels are too abrasive and may scratch the screen. Strong cleaners such as ammonia should never be used because they can damage the screen.

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
