Answer 2

Compressed air in the bottle will get rid of the dust, as for the fingerprints use a damp soft cloth with some windex.

Answer 3

WARNING: Do NOT use Windex on your laptop screen. It contains ammonium, and that will, over time, harm the LCD.



You are best off buying a specialized product for LCD screens. Best Buy, CompUSA or another store can help you find one. Look for one with NO ammonia and NO alcohol.



If there is a warning about being flammable on the packaging - do NOT use it on your laptop.



I've linked to a good kit.

Answer 4

Try using an old dryer anti static sheet. This actually works, and the stuff that's in it to keep your clothes from sticking together will also help repel dust from sticking to the screen - this works great on TV screens too!

Answer 5

No windex. Windex contains ammonia, a useful solvent. it truly is alright to apply in emergencies, yet repeated use will dry out and discolor the show. Use water and a gentle fabric, no longer paper towel. once you're achieved, blow on the show gently to evaporate the water swifter and dodge streaking.

Answer 6

use a cloth much like the ones used to clean glasses. or one that doesn't spread dust. You could even use windex just make sure to dry it be4 it hits the keyboard
