Can You Use Alcohol Wipes on LCD Screens?

1. Why LCD Screens Need Special Care

• Fragile Layers:

  • Polarizing film can dissolve

  • Sealant adhesive may degrade

• Common Damage:

  • Alcohol streaks (“rainbow effect”)

  • Static attracts dust particles

2. Choosing Safe Materials

✅ Approved:

• Alcohol: 70-75% medical ethanol

• Cloth: Class 100+, <0.5mm fibers
  ❌ Never Use:

• Scented wipes (cause yellowing)

• Recycled fiber cloths (scratch)

3. 5-Step Safe Cleaning

1. Power Off: Cool for 10 mins

2. Dust First: Use compressed air

3. Dampen Cloth: 1 drop alcohol on cloth (not screen)

4. Unidirectional Wipe: Single pass only

5. Final Dry: Microfiber buff

4. Professional Alternatives

• LCD-Specific Cleaners: pH-neutral formulas

• Nano Fiber Cloths: Oil-absorbing tech

• Anti-Static Tools: For frequent cleaning

5. Emergency Fixes

⚠️ If Damage Occurs:

• Streaks? Rinse with distilled water

• Liquid seepage? Unplug & contact support
