Caution with Liquid
If you are cleaning screens with a spray, make sure you spray the screen from a distance. Spray far enough away that liquid won’t run down the screen. If you spray too close and liquid does run, it will settle at the bottom of the screen, make its way into that crease, and ruin your screen.
Use a Soft Touch
Don’t press hard when cleaning any of your gadget screens. They are delicate and pressing too hard can cause pixel burnout. Many gadgets come with a cleaning cloth. Keep this cloth handy and use it for your cleanings.
What to Clean With?
