I am new to using my laptop, and I need to clean the screen. Can I use an
ordinary glass cleaner on it?

Thanks for your help

Hey LW

Turn of your computer and clean it carefully. =) The best way to clean
your computer screen will depend on the type of laptop you have. Check
your owner's manual first to see what the manufacturer suggests. You
can also use a microfiber or cleaning cloth designed for computers,
available at computer stores. Dust the screen often with a dry, soft
cloth or a special mini blower created for that purpose, because it can
attract an amazing amount of dust in a short time. I turn off my
laptop, and wipe it with a soft cloth. I never touch the screen or
drink around it so I don't have chemicals on it. But if you do, you can
use a little water to clean it, only enough to remove the stain. Then
dry it with a cloth. Make sure that your computer isn't on! I've had 3
laptops and have never had a screen go out on me. (1 given away, and 2
I still have) Good luck!
