The fabric should not be electrified.
Make sure the cloth is clean and free from coarse grains that could scratch the laptop screen.
The ideal option would be to use special wipes, which are offered in various modifications by specialized computer stores.

What is a tablet
A tablet computer (tablet) is a type of laptop. These PCs are equipped with screens with touch sensors and allow you to work with a stylus or fingers,
using or not using the keyboard and mouse for control.
The main feature of this family of personal portable computers is the full compatibility of the hardware with and the installation of full-fledged operating systems on them.
Such operating systems allow users to use without limitation any software available for a desktop computer.
With the traditional cleaning option, water and a piece of cloth are enough. For more severe contamination, special products should be used.
The benefits of professional products when caring for a laptop or tablet
1. Features of special formulations make it easy to get rid of all kinds of stains and dust.
2. The presence of a convenient form and dispenser makes it possible to practically regulate the required amount of liquid for cleansing.
3. The use of special materials protects against scuffs and scratches, and absolutely absorbs moisture.
4. As a rule, professional products not only clean up dirt, but also do an excellent job with bacteria and microbes.
5. Profitability. For cleaning, you only need a few drops of a miracle remedy.
How to clean the screen
1. Before starting the procedure, it is necessary to turn off the computer and disconnect peripheral devices from it. Work should begin with smooth circular movements, wiping the screen with a moistened cloth.
2. After the initial treatment with repeated circular movements, it is necessary to get rid of the remaining strips.
3. Wipe the surface with light strokes, without using all your strength to remove large dirt from the laptop screen. The pressure should be just enough to hold the fabric on the plane of the monitor, no more. Excessive pressure on the fabric has the potential to damage the LCD matrix and cause significant damage to the screen.
4. When carrying out work, it is necessary to avoid direct contact with the fingers of the screen plane.
5. Support the back of the screen to prevent the device from tipping over or falling during cleaning.

*Based on the results of a study by Eurofins Evic (Eurofins Evik), France, April 2018.
The tablet, like any device, requires some care. Then the device will last longer, and work with it will be more pleasant. You need to know how to wipe the tablet screen, what to do if it gets into the water and so on.
- A few key rules:
- Do not turn on your tablet in extremely cold temperatures. This may damage the battery. Also, you can not run powerful games when the temperature is above forty degrees.
- If the device was bought up, you should immediately remove the battery and all components (flash drive, SIM card).
- Do not dry the MID with a hair dryer or other heating devices (including putting it on a battery).
- Never block the ventilation openings.
- Do not wipe the tablet with your own clothes.
- Do not use third party storage.
Not every material is suitable for cleaning the display. Sometimes it may seem soft, but be incompatible with the material - plastic or glass.
First of all, it is worth clarifying whether you use protective films. There is no, be sure to buy a high-quality protective film, for example, this one. More and more people refuse protective films. This was influenced by the development of Gorilla Glass. It produces glasses that are practically not scratched (but still, a protective film will never be superfluous). For the first time, the company made them for another company - Apple. Then more and more companies began to use its services. Indeed, the question of how to clean the tablet screen in this context is almost settled. If you have a MID with such a coating, then it can be cleaned by almost everyone. Well, except for the sandpaper, of course.
You can watch videos with crash tests of coverage, but our question is different. How to wipe the tablet if you do not have such a coating. Then back to film. Yes, it protects the screen of the gadget and technically it is even difficult to break it. Yes, almost everyone can wipe the film. True, the colors are distorted. Why buy yourself a phone with a super-matrix, if you do not see the beauty of this technology. But there is one rule: you can not wipe plastic products with products that contain alcohol. It's not that they can destroy the structure. The fact is that alcohol easily gets between any gaps and dissolves the clinging substance. That is, the composition that attaches the film to the glass.
Move on. We left behind all the nuances and we were left with only a defenseless screen - no film, no Gorilla Glass (or analogues). We have a regular gadget without protection. The sensor and the matrix in it are protected by primitive glass or, even worse, plastic.
Tablet care: Video
Materials:
Technologically suitable only natural materials without lint. The pile is a separate issue. Synthetics do not roll due to the fact that they create scuffs in plastic surfaces, that is, the screen is rubbed.
rags
Natural rags should always be impregnated with special products. True, they are expensive. Let's just say you go to the pharmacy and buy plain distilled water. The best option.
Computer wipes
The surest option. True, look at the composition. Cheap versions of the product in their composition have the same alcohol that you do not need. Indeed, everything is provided here if the product is real, and not just imitates it.
cotton wool
Suitable for any occasion if you have glass. Then you have to erase the pile. For lubrication, you can not use softeners, but, again, on plastic, you can rub a specific area. Then you have to change the completely protective part of the sensor.
For today - the best economic goods for these purposes. If it's real, then you don't have to worry. This product does not scratch even a gentle modern polish, not to mention glass or plastic. By the way, all wipes for glasses, monitors, etc. have a microfiber composite on the outer layer, although, as a rule, they themselves are made of linen.
Undesirable. The bandage is very corrugated and is suitable only for quality products. Otherwise, you can wipe your device from the first time. We do not recommend.
Paper is great for glass. Not only can she just wipe the device, but it's also a great way to remove scratches from your tablet. Cannot be used on plastic. If toilet paper is suitable for wiping, then tougher options are needed to get rid of scratches. For example, standard A4 with increased density. First you need to rub the paper in your fists, and then rub the scratch in a circular motion. In practice, in 95% of cases the scratch will disappear in a few minutes.
Special cleaners
Although they are treated as a component, they should be noted. In the case of glass, almost everything is suitable, but with plastic you need to be careful. Read the ingredients carefully. There should not be the same alcohol, abrasives, ingredients associated with gasoline derivatives.
These are the most commonly used materials. We will not consider the rest, but from the foregoing, you can understand the very essence.
Publication date: 05/24/14Do you still think that it does not matter how and with what to clean the laptop screen? To wipe the monitor, do you first breathe on it and then buff it with your sleeve? Or wash the screen with baby soap? Then do not be surprised that your equipment quickly becomes unusable. And we know how to properly clean screens, and today we will tell you about it.
How to clean the screen of a laptop, computer, TV?
To care for the monitor, you will need two things: a napkin (or two or three is better) and cleaning fluid. You may think that it doesn't matter what material you use to wipe the LCD monitor. In fact, an improperly selected screen cloth can leave scratches on the monitor's coating. So how do you clean a laptop screen? Which cloth is suitable for cleaning screens and which is not? Let's take a look at the most common monitor cleaning materials.
Paper and paper napkins. Paper is not suitable for cleaning LCD monitors, but it perfectly cleans the screens of phones and tablets, however, only if they are made of Gorilla Glass. If the screen has a plastic coating, then the paper can leave scratches.
Cotton wool and cotton pads. Like paper, it is only suitable for cleaning glass screens of tablets and phones. May leave micro scratches on plastic.
Wet wipes for screens. Not the cheapest, but the easiest option. Such napkins do not scratch the surface, and their impregnation does not leave streaks. However, be careful when choosing wet wipes and do not buy cheap ones, as they contain alcohol, which can corrode the plastic coating of the screen. Remember that wet wipes for tech dry quickly, so give preference to those that have each wipe individually packaged in a sealed sachet.
Sponge for washing dishes or foam rubber washcloth. It is categorically impossible to use for screen care, especially the same one that you have already washed the dishes with! The sponge absorbs dust and scratches the screen, especially its rough side. In no case do not use a melamine sponge to wipe the monitor - this will leave deep scratches on the plastic!
Synthetic napkin. Not suitable for cleaning plastic screens as it leaves scratches. It also attracts a lot of dust.
Microfiber. The best material for screen care. Microfiber cleans both glass and plastic well, without scratching them. But microfiber is different from microfiber: microfiber cloths designed for cleaning are not suitable for caring for a monitor. But microfiber for glasses and optics is also suitable for cleaning LCD screens.
Cotton napkin. Oddly enough, not the best choice. Cotton fibers are quite rough in their structure, because of which the screen coating will scratch and eventually become worn. In addition, the pile of a cotton napkin will stick to the screen, and completely removing it is not an easy task. But if you still decide to use a napkin made of natural material to wipe the monitor, then always moisten it before the procedure in a special detergent or in distilled water.
In addition to the material, you will also need liquid to clean the monitor. You can buy it in the store (make sure it does not contain alcohol) or make it yourself.
How to make monitor care liquid at home?
First, you will need a base for the solution - water. You will need to use distilled water that is free of salts and minerals that can scratch the screen. No other water - neither mineral nor tap - will do.
Secondly, a cleaning component will need to be added to the water. In the best case, this is grape vinegar, which is diluted with water in a 1: 1 ratio. However, even if you add more vinegar, you will not ruin the monitor.
If you do not have grape vinegar, add isopropyl alcohol or vodka in the same proportions. But remember that such a tool cannot be used constantly, since alcohol corrodes the monitor coating.
You can also find on the Internet that instead of a cleaning component, you can take shavings of baby soap and dissolve it in water, but this composition is ineffective for cleaning screens, since soap stains remain after it.
And in no case do not add ammonia-containing substances, such as window cleaner, to a homemade liquid as a cleaning component! Ammonia may react with the screen coating, causing whitish spots to appear on the screen.
Proper care of the monitor: instructions
So, you have a tissue and monitor cleaner. What to do next? Just follow our instructions.
1. Power off the monitor. Never wipe the monitor while it is on, as this will not only make it difficult to see dust and dirt, but also risk electric shock.
2. Wipe the entire monitor, except for the screen, with a separate cloth.
3. Wipe the monitor screen with a dry cloth using light pressure. If you have a cotton napkin, soak it a little in distilled water.
4. If dust has accumulated in the corners of the screen, do not try to get it with a fingernail or a needle, as this will ruin the coating. To remove dust from the corners of the screen, use a syringe and blow out all the dust.
5. Apply the cleaning solution to the cloth (not the monitor!). If you applied a lot of solution, wring out the napkin.
6. Lightly wipe the screen with a tissue in a circular motion. Do not scrub the stains, but rather let the cleaner dissolve them, and then wipe heavily soiled areas again.
7. Wipe the screen with a dry cloth.
How to clean a glossy screen?
Cleaning a glossy screen in the sequence of actions is no different from cleaning a matte one, but there are a few subtleties that it is advisable to take into account.
Firstly, it is undesirable to wipe the glossy screen with a dry cloth, even if it is a high-quality microfiber cloth, because such a coating is very easy to scratch.
Secondly, do not forget to wash the napkin after each use, as dust accumulates in it during cleaning. If you just shake off the cloth, then some of this dust will remain in the fibers and scratch the screen.
Thirdly, wipe the glossy screen not in circular motions, but in one direction horizontally or vertically.
And fourthly, after cleaning, the glossy screen does not need to be wiped with a dry cloth. Just wait until it dries.
How to clean the screen of the tablet and phone?
The touch screen can be cleaned in the same way as an LCD monitor, but without the use of any household chemicals (except those specifically designed), especially those containing alcohol or bleach. The fact is that most touch screens have an oleophobic coating, that is, repelling fats. Therefore, fingerprints can be easily wiped off with a regular microfiber cloth.
If there are splashes, streaks and other old stains on the touch screen, they can be wiped off with a microfiber cloth moistened with distilled water. Just do not wet the napkin too much: if moisture gets inside your gadget, it may break.
