Last time I heard, glass cleaners (ammonia-based or otherwise) were a strict no-no for those screens.

For older screens I use a 50-50 mix of white vinegar and distilled water, for cutting grime and dirt. If the screen isn’t that dirty, you can cut back to 20 percent vinegar, and it will work just as well.

I believe the Dell web site used to suggest isopropanol and water in similar proportions, but I shifted to vinegar because it’s natural, and works just as well.

What would be the best way for me to clean my laptop screen? It has smudges, but I’m afraid to use the wrong type of cleaner.
