A gentle, electronics-safe routine helps protect coatings on phones, laptops, monitors, and TVs.

1. Power down and let the screen cool.
2. Start with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to lift dust.
3. If smudges remain, lightly mist an electronics screen cleaner onto the cloth or use a pre-moistened electronics wipe, then wipe in light, even strokes.
4. Finish with a second dry microfiber to reduce streaks.

• Avoid: paper towels, tissues, abrasive pads, and household chemicals (like ammonia or bleach).
• Good to know: Anti-static and quick-dry formulas can help minimize dust cling and visible streaks.

This approach can reduce residue while being gentle on anti-reflective and oleophobic coatings.

Flat-screen TVs often have delicate coatings, so a light touch and the right supplies matter.

1. Use a large, soft microfiber cloth to remove loose dust.
2. For smudges, apply a small amount of electronics-safe screen cleaner to the cloth and wipe with gentle, broad passes.
3. Buff with a dry section of the cloth to reduce streaks.

• Skip: household glass cleaners, abrasive rags, and heavy pressure that can cause uniformity issues.
• Extra tip: Clean the bezel and remote separately, and check your TV’s care guide for any model-specific notes.

Larger microfiber cloths and quick-dry, streak-reducing formulas can make big screens easier to maintain.

It’s generally better to choose products labeled for electronics. Many household glass cleaners can include ammonia, dyes, or fragrances that may affect anti-glare or oleophobic coatings.

• Safer picks: Electronics screen-cleaning sprays or pre-moistened electronics wipes designed for TVs, laptops, and monitors.
• If you’re unsure: Verify the cleaner is ammonia-free and explicitly marked safe for screens, then test a tiny corner first.
• Application tip: Apply cleaner to a microfiber cloth, not directly to the display, to help control moisture.

Following device care guidelines and choosing electronics-safe formulas can help preserve clarity and coating performance over time.

Fingerprints are oily, so a gentle, targeted clean works well for LCDs.

1. Turn the device off and let it cool.
2. Wipe with a clean microfiber cloth to pick up loose dust.
3. Dampen a corner of the cloth with an electronics-safe screen cleaner and make light, overlapping passes over the smudges.
4. Use a dry section of the cloth to buff away any faint streaks.

• Tip: Some electronics formulas are alcohol-free to be gentle on coatings, while others use quick-dry alcohol for tougher residue. Check your device’s care recommendations to choose what fits best.
• Avoid: abrasive fabrics and strong household solvents.

Both can work; it comes down to convenience and control.

• Wipes: Great for quick cleanups and travel. They’re pre-moistened for consistent coverage and reduce the chance of over-wetting.
• Spray + microfiber: Offers more control and can be efficient for frequent cleaning. Gels can help limit drips on keyboards.
• What to look for: Electronics-safe, streak-reducing formulas and lint-free microfiber cloths. Anti-static options can help minimize dust.

Choose based on how and where you clean—on the go or at a desk—and your laptop’s care guidance. You can find both wipes and sprays in our electronics-cleaning selection and choose delivery or store pickup for added convenience.
