Easily Clean Any Touch Screen: Materials, Tips, & More

Smudges all over your gadget's touchscreen? Maybe the fingerprint trail for the latest, must-have game you are addicted to lies on your screen? Regularly cleaning your smartphone, phone, tablet, or MP3 player's touch screen is essential for its upkeep and longevity. This wikiHow article will teach you how to clean and disinfect any touch screen safely.

1. Using a Microfiber Cloth

Choose a microfiber cloth. A lint-free cloth is ideal for cleaning a touchscreen. Some devices come with their own cleaning cloths, but any lint-free cloth will work—including the one that you use to clean your eyeglasses.

2. Using Hand Sanitizer

Get some alcohol gel. This gel is also known as hand sanitizer. Because of its high alcohol content, you can use it to kill germs on your touch screen. Alcohol dries quickly, making hand sanitizer a safe option.

• Power down your device before disinfecting.

• Always wait until your touch screen is completely dry before turning on your device.
