Cleaning laptop screen

Kitchen towel seems fairly soft in that respect. At least that's what my nose tells me when I have a cold, kitchen towel is far far kinder to the running snozzel than tissues or loo paper. I also use kitchen towel to dry the specs after their morning wash, they are coated lenes and the coating is still there...

I agree that paper hand towels are harsh but not it seems kitchen roll. Can't see the point in spending several quid on a "kit" when a sheet of damp kitchen roll and trace of washing up liquid will do the job.

The best pound shop bargain I've seen recently is a tiny USB bluetooth dongle from Poundworld. I keep buying them even though I have run out of computers to fit them to.

I think the supermarkets have the same thing for £7 or £8.

Thanks for all the replies.

Pressure washer it is, then :-)

I'll report back on progress.

Isopropyl alcohol.

Probably about the best bet. Also sold with a wetting agent in for cleaning photographic lenses. Worth drying the screen gently with a second tissue rather than letting the solvent evaporate or you could end up with even more annoying smears and smudges over a wider area!

Microfibre cloth misted with a spray of very dilute Fairy Liquid, does it for me, for LCD screens.

Heh. My old Sony monitor was indestructible - got cleaned with all sorts and never complained. I noticed early on there was an anti-reflective coating of some sort that was gradually being wiped off and when it went totally it improved things.
