Many friends have the habit of using alcohol to disinfect mobile phones and computer screens, but we strongly recommend that you do not use alcohol to wipe computer screens!!!

Because you might get a computer like this...

01 Why can't you use alcohol to clean the computer screen? Some computers have an organic film on their LCD screens, which is used to prevent screen glare and make your eyes more comfortable during use. However, this film can be dissolved by alcohol. If you often spray the screen with alcohol or wipe it with alcohol cotton pads, it will indeed damage the screen over time.

For example, many people use MacBooks, and Apple has already reminded everyone:

Some friends may ask:

Eh? Then why is it fine when I wipe my phone with alcohol pad?

This is because the manufacturing process of mobile phones is more sophisticated, in other words, more durable! And now many friends will put screen protectors on their mobile phones, which is equivalent to adding an extra layer of protection to the mobile phone screen. So it’s okay to wipe the phone with alcohol cotton pads occasionally.

Of course, spraying alcohol directly may also damage the phone!!! Don’t do such a stubborn thing!

02 What should I do if my computer screen is dirty? With the iteration of technology, many computer manufacturers have discovered this problem, so now many computers can be wiped with alcohol.

But for ordinary people like us, it is really difficult to distinguish which screens can be wiped and which cannot be wiped.

Therefore, we recommend that you use a soft brush to brush off the large particles of dust on the surface.

Then wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth or screen cleaning wipes.

Apple's official recommended cleaning method

If you still prefer the convenience of alcohol cotton pads, you can check your computer model and ask the manufacturer/customer service whether it can be wiped with alcohol. Make a decision after confirmation.

Now that the epidemic is not over yet, many people keep 75-degree alcohol at home. However, alcohol itself is also a solvent and cannot be used casually on electronic devices or in the kitchen.

It can be used for small-scale disinfection, such as wiping door handles, toilets, etc. It can also easily remove label residues.

However, don’t spray alcohol on the lottery ticket, otherwise... your 50 million will be gone!
