What’s the BEST way to clean your phone, tablet and laptop screen?
It’s never been more important to keep technology we handle every day as clean and hygienic as possible. And if you’re like me, you dream of keeping your devices looking fresh-out-the-box.
Mirroring what you see in promotional shots can feel like an impossible task at times, and it usually is. Apple, Microsoft, Samsung… none of the big players in tech have ever really acknowledged that their products collect plenty of fingerprints and natural oil within seconds of using them. This isn’t really an issue for those that enjoy using tech, but for those that enjoy discussing and photographing our devices, this is a very real issue.
For years I’ve reluctantly relied on a sleeve or a trouser leg to get by but it can feel nauseating catching a glimpse of your new iPhone, iPad or Mac and it looking like it’s spent a week in the hands of a messy toddler. It certainly isn’t what sold you on the device in the first place in Apple’s utopian style advertising. For as long as I can remember I’ve been looking for a professional but simple way of cleaning my devices and I think I have finally found the BEST (not perfect) solution.
This video (Source: 9to5Mac) outlines the best way of cleaning a screen with just a screen cleaning solution and microfibre cloth:
Follow these easy steps as outlined above and you’ll be able to drastically reduce the visible fingerprint marks in your everyday life, and also feel more confident if taking photos of your tech.
Here’s the alcohol-free product that I’ve been using to keep this weekly activity up for my phone, tablet and laptops - Screen Mom - Screen Cleaner Kit – Includes Premium Microfiber Cloth - whilst ensuring that I don’t spray the solution directly onto the screen itself, as it could (very unlikely) seep into the gaps between the screen and the bezel.
Let us know if this works for you and what your routine is for keeping your devices clean and fingerprint free!
