Any hints on best method/cleaning products? Greasy fingerprints imparing my enjoyment of mn!

I use a cloth that we got with our LCD (or is it plasma? I can never remember) TV -just dampen it slightly and wipe.

I'm not sure what you're supposed to use though?

wouldn't an e-cloth do the trick? I would imagine thats what Betty got with her tv.

Actually, just tried baby wipes! Pixiefish, your dh's a genius, worked brilliantly. Thank you.

Give it a wipe with a 100% cotton dry cloth if you can find one. That should take most marks off.

DON'T use tap water on it - even to dampen the cloth - as ordinary water can damage the screen.

I did a google search and found that you can make a 50/50 mix of alcohol and distilled water and use that if the cloth doesn't remove everything.

Oh too late as per usual!

Aww thanks Gibberish, you googled it!
Screen will be messed up by greasy fingered dc's by tonight anyway, so will try your methods!!

You're welcome

I use baby wipes. I'm sure Macintosh don't recommend you clean their shiny laptops with Johnson's, but hey...it's worked for the last 2 yrs with no harm done!
