Is your computer's LCD screen getting so dirty you can barely make out what you're typing. Use a few household ingredients to keep a clear, sharp image on your LCD screen without clouding or scratching it.



You Will Need:

• Distilled water

• Isopropyl alcohol

• A spray bottle

• A soft cotton cloth

• White vinegar (optional)



Step 1: Turn off monitor

Turn off your LCD monitor.

Step 2: Mix solution

Mix a solution of 50 percent distilled water with 50 percent isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle.

Step 3: Spray the cotton cloth

Spray the cotton cloth with the solution. Do not spray the solution directly onto your computer screen.

Step 4: Wipe the screen

Gently wipe the screen in a circular motion.

Step 5: Let the screen dry

Let the screen dry before turning the monitor back on.



Trivia: LCD screens use as little as 40 percent of the electricity consumed by traditional cathode ray tube monitors.
