How to Clean Your Computer Screen

You can tell right away when your monitor is dirty. Whether you have a desktop PC or a Laptop, your monitor usually shows all kinds of fingerprints, marks and dust. 

However, you need to be very careful when cleaning your computer screen, because its surface and inside components can be at risk if you use the wrong materials or techniques. 

Let's read how to clean and maintain your PC or laptop screen! 

Grab the Right Supplies First

For applying your cleaning agent, cloths or towels are the best option. Microfiber is able to absorb more efficiently both liquids and residues of dust. 

Now, for the cleaning product per se, you'll only require water. At most, you can add a little bit of eyeglass cleaner. 

You can also grab white vinegar for cleaning the back of your screen (not the front!). It's best to mix your white vinegar into a 1 part vinegar, 1 part water solution.

Cleaning Your Monitor: What (Not!) to Do

The cleaning technique is fairly easy. You'll need to be careful about what NOT to do. Don't use products containing bleach, soap or ammonia. And don't spray liquids on the surface!

Always apply the cleaning agent on the cloth first. Wipe your monitor and then wipe dry using a different, clean microfiber cloth.  

The same goes for the back of your screen, which is also important to clean because it collects dust permanently. 

How to Take Care of Your Monitor

Besides cleaning regularly, the worst enemy of your monitor is fingerprints. You can tell straight away when a monitor has fingermarks all over the place. Be careful, especially if you have a laptop because we tend to grab them by the screen, and this is more dangerous than you think and it goes beyond a mere aesthetic issue. 

In fact, research has shown that you shouldn't move your open laptop around at all, so make sure you close the lid and change the computer to hibernation or standby. Then, you are free to move it wherever you like. This will prevent both hardware and software issues. 

Dust is also a common problem. This one is harder to avoid because your pc naturally attracts dust thanks to static electricity.

3 Sustainable Cleaning Products to Join The Eco Movement

Sustainability is becoming a big part of our lives, and we start to see that in our food, our buildings, and our personal care and cleaning products.  According to the  PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center , "U.S. throws out enough plastic every 16 hours to fill the Dallas Cowboys stadium".  The cleaning industry offers a variety of products for any task you can think of, from washing your garments to sanitizing surfaces and everything in between. Most of them contain chemicals that cause massive damage to entire ecosystems. Their packaging (almost all of them are plastics) rarely ends up being properly recycled, so they end up contaminating as well.  Let's read about three sustainable cleaning products to start being part of the eco-movement! Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergents Laundry detergent is a big deal because it contains components called microplastics, which are tiny plastic particles that end up in the ocean and eventually make their way into our food ...

Summer vs. Winter: How to Keep Your Home Clean Each Time of the Year

Is it easier to clean during the winter or the summer? What are the pros and cons for every time of the year? Let's read and find out!  Cleaning During Summer Places such as Dallas usually have very high temperatures and humidity during the year. Add some organic food sources and you have the perfect scenario for mold. A dehumidifier is a great choice here because it will let you set the right humidity level for your home, which shouldn't be higher than 60%. During the summer, it's also common to see dust accumulate everywhere, especially on your blinds and windows. Make sure you clean your blinds once or twice a month to avoid them from gathering dust. Ceiling Fans are also popular during summer, but they collect dust and pollen. Fortunately, this will only require an all-purpose cleaner and a step-stool! You can check this cleaning checklist to make sure you have the right supplies before starting a summer deep clean!  Cleaning During Winter Even though there's the c...

Cleaning Tips For Each Type Of Fabric

We all know that each type of fabric comes with its own do's and don'ts for cleaning and conditioning. Let's read how to take care of the most common types of fabric and make sure they last for years!  Cleaning Leather Clothing Just like every other organic material, leather must be handled with care. You'll need to wash by hand in this case. You can start by mixing dish soap with warm water. Next, extend your garment over an ironing board or a clean countertop. Damp a microfiber cloth with the soap and water mix, and blot your garment instead of wiping or scrubbing, because that can leave marks.  After cleaning all dirty spots, grab a clean, dry cloth and blot to absorb as much liquid as possible.  Don't forget to apply some leather conditioner afterward!   Bonus tip: If possible, use distilled water instead of tap water. Some areas, such as Dallas, have what is known as "hard" water. This means that it contains a higher amount of minerals such as calcium...
