Re: Sprayed Pledge on lcd Monitor

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I applied the distilled water and alcohol solution this morning (twice) and it worked. I have some horizontal streaks now, but I can live with that.

Sincerely, Libra

I think if you read the manual that came with the monitors or even TV's you will find that you should only use warn water and a mild soap like liquid Dawn dish soap.

Cleaners and even alcohol can damage some screens over time.

The streaks just mean you need to clean it again. Some matte monitor surfaces will still streak unless you dry it with (very short to no nap) microfiber cloth.

On a side note I've been cleaning monitors with straight OTC (70%) isopropyl alcohol for years with no problems. Just don't apply a lot of pressure so you don't scratch or buff the coating excessively.
