Squidgy screen???

[Babymischief]

Er.. I have a thin squidgy computer screen, you know the one... where if you poke it with your finger it looks like it`s got water in it? Well... how do I clean it, no matter what I try it still looks greasy and fingerprints all over it. Is there something you can buy? Thanks for the help XXX

[ukwdwnut]

you can buy screen wipes from any place that sells computer bits and bobs try pc world baby :)

or try a chamois leather thats what i use, wait until the screen has been turned of for a while then use one :)

I think it a case of try it and see ukwdwnut, maybe if you got them from tesco's, tried one and it was'nt up to scratch, claim your money back! :thumbs:
I have used mr sheen on my hifi support unit, which is glass shelved, had no problems with the stuff smearing, I am assuming that the wipes are just wipes with mr sheen in them?

[ukwdwnut]

[american idol]

i wouldn't use mr sheen on the computer screen :eek:

I wouldn't use mr sheen either I must say :/ I'm sure some of the cheapy wipes are no better, maybe worse, but the *proper* tft screen cleaners are wonderful, no smears and no damage or *gulp* scratching

one of my friends who looks after a forest of pcs, swears by a special brand of screen cleaner, I keep forgetting the name though, I'll ask him tomorrow.

I use glass wipes courtesy of Air France. They use them for their pc screens, instrument panels in the cockpit etc. Running short on them though since Geoff moved up to Flightline in Aberdeen!

If you didn't squidge it with your finger you wouldn't get fingerprints on it. :tut:

[Babymischief]

[Chris/Lisa]

[Keith]

It's called Techniclean and apparently is the best of all the stuff he's tried

[PaulaK]

only you would say that claire, thats a typically funny thing you'd say and ive only met you twice :lol:

[Dawn]

We use baby wipes to polish shoes. :thumbs:

And we only clean our TV screen when grandparents visit - apparently they can't see through handprints, chocklit, sossidge smears, etc. :shrug:

[american idol]

a handy tip for dusting tv screens- use a tumble drier sheet- it stays dust free for longer :D

[Dawn]

What if you haven't got a tumble drier.

[arcamalpha2003]

i wouldn't use mr sheen on the computer screen :eek:

Is Mr Sheen not a glass cleaner? I have used it before with no issues, so called screen wipes are just snake oil in my opinion, and probably cost the earth :shrug:

[arcamalpha2003]

Keith, just looked up that techniclean gear, it's apparently good for cd's, dvd's etc :)

i think that furniture polish has wax in it and is not to be used on plastic or glass- it will smear

[arcamalpha2003]

i think that furniture polish has wax in it and is not to be used on plastic or glass- it will smearJust that it says that it can be used on glass, has not smeared mine, not sure about the wipes though, but the wipes are meant to be just that, impregnated with mr sheen.
In my army days, if the glass was smeared the searge would say it was down to me, not mr sheen :lol: , he would say I was'nt polishing enough and quickly send me to the play pen for some polishing practice :rotfl:

[JuniorMickey]

I have a laptop and was told to never use glass cleaner on the screen - it can damage it

[Josette]

i don't recommend you touching your squidgy squeen, because it'll leave streaks if you press it too hard. :)

[ukwdwnut]

just buy proper screen wipes :)
