Power Down : Before you begin, shut down your laptop completely and unplug it from any power source. This prevents electrical hazards and makes smudges easier to see. Cleaning an active screen can cause damage or leave streaks behind, so always start with a powered-off, cool device.

Gather Supplies : Use a clean, soft microfiber cloth, never tissues or paper towels. For deeper cleaning, prepare a solution of equal parts distilled water and white vinegar or isopropyl alcohol (less than 70%). Avoid any harsh chemical-based cleaners that could damage the protective coating of your screen.

Dry Dusting : Start with a dry wipe. Gently rub the screen in small, circular motions using the microfiber cloth. This helps remove surface dust and debris without scratching the display. Avoid applying too much pressure, be gentle to protect the delicate screen surface.

Lightly Dampen : If dry cleaning isn’t enough, lightly dampen a corner of your cloth with the prepared solution. Never spray liquid directly on the screen. Excess moisture can seep into the screen edges, causing internal damage. Always wring out the cloth thoroughly before wiping.

Wipe Gently : Use the dampened section of the cloth to wipe the screen in slow, circular movements. Work from the center outward. Avoid aggressive scrubbing. Let the cloth glide softly across the screen to remove fingerprints, smudges, and any oily residue safely.

Dry It Off : Switch to a dry area of the cloth and gently buff the screen until no moisture remains. Make sure the screen is completely dry before closing your laptop or turning it back on. This prevents streaking and water spots from forming.

What to Avoid : Never use window cleaners, bleach, or rough materials. These can scratch or corrode the screen. Keep all moisture away from keyboard and ports. Clean regularly, once a week is ideal, for a spotless display and longer screen life.
