Cleaning- best free/cheap solution

[ash_scotland88]

apart from dampening kitchen roll is there anything anybody recomends?
Being a student and kinda hard up at the moment but the screen is bogging, so like you know, as a totall random example would a skoosh of lemon jiuce help type of thing?
I dont want suggestions for like £5er on a spray can of pish to use.

No! Don't use kitchen roll whatever you do, unless you want a scratched monitor surface.

A damp lint free cloth will do fine.

anything i can buy? my dad keeps giving me stuff but i can tell its gonna be too hard, even though it states its a glass cleaner.

Just nab a microfibre cloth from any supermarket, shouldn't cost more than a few quid. If you've got some really stubburon marks that would require excessive force you'll need a bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol (the decent quality stuff from a pharmacy, highest proof you can get) and mix it maximum 50/50 with distilled water.

I use a cheap microfibre cloth from Tescos and window cleaner for my 24" with no problems. Just dampen the cloth with the cleaner and gently wipe over the surface and then let it evaporate, job done

I'd be careful with window cleaner, it could possibly damage the delicate anti-glare coating on matt finishes.

You can get cheap microfiber cloths from supermarkets, my local asda sells them and others for really cheap, or you could try your local £ shop, they have 4 packs for, well, £1.
