How do I maintain and clean a LCD screen?

There are many cleaners sold specifically as LCD cleaners. These are perfectly acceptable for cleaning LCD's. If you do not wish to purchase one of these products, the following is a list of what is and is not acceptable for cleaning your LCD.

The following cleaners are acceptable:
• Water
• IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol)
• Hexane
• Petroleum Benzine

NOTICE: The following cleaners are unacceptable:
• Acetone
• Ethyl alcohol
• Toluene
• Ethyl acid
• Ammonia
• Methyl chloride
(These might cause permanent damage to the LCD due to a chemical reaction. Some commercial window cleaners contain ammonia and are generally unacceptable.)

Clean the LCD display with a soft, clean cloth and commercial window cleaner that does not contain wax, abrasives or other unacceptable chemicals listed above. Apply the cleaner to the cloth, and then stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom.
