Hey guys im currently looking for something to clean my monitors with. But every cleaning kit i look at has alot of bad review where it ruined someones monitor or something else.

The problem is that sometimes when im talking wile playing games there can end up abit of spit on the monitor and that is disgusting so i was wondering what you guys can recommend.

What I do is go to the wilko,or pound shop lol, near me and buy a bottle of screen cleaning solution that comes with a microfibre cloth, you spray the solution onto the screen as then wipe it off with the cloth. 

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Best thing to get is a good cloth. One with microfibers will clean almost anything with just water.

Avoid all the LCD/TV cleaner solutions as they are crap and overpriced.

 

For cleaning fat/stuck deposits of screens we use just normal windows cleaner applied to a cloth and not sprayed at the screen as i might leak down.

 

@fixitnow You just beat me :D

Remember to turn off your screen. Heard about some horror stories where they haven't turned their monitor off, and next thing you know... No more screen :D

Give 'em more spit and a good hand-only circle movement on it.

 

... or basically any screen cleaner with a cloth, or even a low alchool solution

The problem is every single screen cleaner I look at

online has a lot of good but also a lot of bad reviews where someone's monitor has been ruined or has stripes or some bullshit

I just use a damp dish cloth, sometimes with whatever bio friendly cleaning crap my Mrs has next to the sink. The the drying up towel to get rid of any smears.
