Electronics Cleaning Fluid??

[Tarun10]

I think this belongs in this forum,

Any suggestions for a cleaning fluid for smartphones and laptops? I just used some random nanoparticle cleaner for household appliances uptil now.

What kind of cleaning? I use isopropyl for just about anything electronics related

Dish washer. I done it a few times and it works.

I see you watch Der8auer but I am talking about Laptops and Smartphones with a lot of crevices and holes and I can't really let my laptop dry around for a week.

Just getting rid of fingerprints on the screens and on the chassus of my laptops. Is IPA fine for touchscreens?

Yeah I reread your post. Don't use the dishwasher for them. Caig deoxitis what you would want.

Der8auer is an extreme overclockerand he washes Motherboards and other components in the Dishwasher to get rid off Vaseline

Oh in that case get some distilled water and a microfiber cloth (in fact, the water may not be totally necessary if the fingerprints aren't caked on)

Thanks, I use a microfiber but sometimes I just can't get it clean enough. Distilled water it is,,,

haha Vaseline. He must not be very bright, Vaseline is a mess and there are far better ways to insulate parts for sub zero temps.

There are but he figures Vaseline is better than a bunch of shop towels

isopropyl alcohol (ipa) should be safe with screens and laptops

no dishwasher, no glass cleaning products as those can contain chemicals which can damage various filters often on top of screens (anti glare filters, the capacitive layer on some touch sensitive parts etc)

ipa is mild enough solvent to be safe. distilled water would work but it's just that, water

He's one of the top hardcore overclockers in the world. I think we just can't judge his "brightness" when it comes to overclocking methods...
