Cleaning Screens, Cell phones, Remoes, etc.

I seem to forget how to clean these new products most of us have in the home. I checked online for the best way and thought I would share it with you all. It is no longer a good idea to clean your TVs or laptop computer screens with Windex or other cleaning solutions. Why? Because the screen is no longer made of glass which could withstand the Windex solution. These screens are now made with OLED and LCD panels and the alcohol, lauramine oxide, or ammonia in Windex and other cleaners can damage these panels. Actually the less liquid used the better. Use a soft cloth or towel, microfiber is a great choice. Don't apply pressure. If you have greasy, oily stains add a little warm water to the cloth. It has also been found that 81% of cell phones tested had harmful bacteria and fecal matter on their surfaces. (Think about the many places where you might lay your cell phone.) Again, to clean them use a microfiber or other soft cloth. You can use 70% isopropyl alcohol and distilled water so it does leave mineral deposits like tap water will do. You can also use cotton balls to get into small grooves. Remote controls and smartwatches can be cleaned in this same way.
