How To Clean
A Laptop Screen
Laptop screens are made of LCD (liquid crystal
display), and care must be taken when cleaning
them. My laptop screen seems to be a magnet for
filth. Cat fur, dust and smudges all seem to be
attracted to my screen. There are various
products on the market designed for cleaning
laptop screens safely, or you may want to make
your own cleaner.
