Electronics Cleaning Wipes.

Hi guys,

I'm down to my last few packs of these:

Asking around the various supermarkets that used to do them, it would appear Pledge have stopped producing them...

So much next question is, what is everyone else using? I use these wipes specifically for phone/tablet screens etc. Never monitors or TVs - a damp microfibre cloth for that :cool:

Thanks!

Nice!! And no streaking/smearing etc.?

I'll look into that - my replacement doesn't have to be wipe-based

We use either a 70/30 mix of alcohol and distilled water or D10 disinfectant/detergent on tablets at work, together with a microfibre cloth. I had my doubts about what either would do to the tablets, but it's been fine. We have a couple of hundred and they're all cleaned repeatedly every day, so it's a reasonable sample size. D10 is great stuff, just the thing for a multitude of cleaning tasks. Not a household product, so I doubt if you could get it in a convenient little spray bottle. As far as I know, it's only sold as a concentrate to be diluted about 20:1 to use. But you could buy a small refillable spray bottle and dribble a few drops of D10 into it along with some water. I had a quick look online and found sizes as small as 1L, so ~20L of cleaning product.

Not sure if I'd use either on my own kit, though.

Can it be used all over a music keyboard that has lots of buttons and knobs?

Absolutely, you've just gotta make sure it's powered down properly and take your time. My wife loves cleaning fiddly stuff for some reason, gets the earbuds out and everything the weirdo :confused:

That's literally just distilled water and stuff to make it foamy? cheaper to buy a bottle of alcohol and distilled water and make yiur own mixture!?

OP - I use eco mist. Been using it for 4 years or so, great products which cleans effectively and comes with a nice microfibre

and exclusively use gentle detergent on screens, and a foaming carpet detergent(q tip applied) on keyboards
