Cleaning glass screens on your electronics


Recommended Posts

Any cleaner with any kind of abrasive or solvent is going to remove anti-glare coating, depending somewhat on the construction of the display. Most AG coatings are baked or adhered to the OUTSIDE of the screen, whether the screen is glass or acrylic (most are glass). Truly bonded LCD displays have better AG characteristics and also don't fog as often. The initial result of removing the AG coating will likely be a screen that looks clean, but with no anti-glare coating, the screen will now show glare in direct sunlight.

A 3M cloth and non-solvent-based eyeglass cleaner is the way to go. Say no to Windex, anything with alcohol or especially ammonia in it. Boat soap also should not be used, at minimum because it builds up gunk and usually because by the time you've got to the electronics displays, the soap bucket has grit and crap from the hull in it, and again, you're rubbing grit and crap on to your nice, pristine display.

Clean water, a soft 3M cloth and eyeglass cleaner - love 'em!
