What to Use for Cleaning

When you have made the mixture and are ready to clean the screen get the softest cotton cloth that you can. If you can adjust the spray bottle so the mixture will spray out in a very fine mist. Spray the mixture on the cotton cloth and wipe the screen gently in a circular motion. Be sure not to put too much pressure on the cloth or press your fingers into it as it can leave streaks or marks on the screen.

Tips and Hints

Here are some tips and hints:

1.when you are adding the mixture to the cloth use very little and wipe a small part of the screen to see what gives the best results.

2.If you have got a pure cotton cloth try wiping the screen without the mixture as it can give similar results.

3.Do not use cheap or rough paper towels as they can damage the screen.

4.Some tissues can leave some small white flakes, so avoid using these.
