Before applying a screen protector or film, surface cleaning is crucial to ensure a bubble-free and dust-free application. Many wonder whether to use alcohol or cleanroom wipes first. The correct order and method help achieve the best results.
Why Use Alcohol First?
Alcohol quickly dissolves oils, fingerprints, and adhesive residues, ensuring the surface is free from grease and contaminants.
Why Use Cleanroom Wipes Afterwards?
Cleanroom wipes have low lint release and gently remove dissolved residues and any remaining moisture without adding dust, leaving the surface perfectly clean.
Correct Cleaning Sequence
-
Lightly moisten a cleanroom wipe or specialized cleaning cloth with an appropriate amount of alcohol and gently wipe the screen or protector surface.
-
Use a dry cleanroom wipe to remove any residual alcohol and dust.
-
Allow the surface to dry completely before applying the screen protector.
Tips
-
Use moderate amounts of alcohol to avoid liquid seeping into the device.
-
Choose high-quality cleanroom wipes to prevent lint residue.
-
Clean in a dust-free environment to minimize airborne particles.
