Any tips on unfucking laptop screens? Try as I might, I can't convince the family to keep their damned fingers off my screen (IT'S NOT A TOUCHSCREEN, DAMMIT!), and I'm very, very neurotic about fingerprints. I'm afraid of damaging the screen material with chemicals or even vinegar, but just using water and a microfibre cloth (as I have been advised before) never seems to fully do the trick.

Oh, welcome to the CONSTANT BATTLE between me and my coworkers. THESE ARE NOT TOUCHSCREENS.

Anyway, I use a half and half combination of rubbing alcohol (the higher the %, the better) and distilled water. Distilled is very important. Dip a soft clean cloth in the solution, wring it out until it’s just barely damp, and clean the screens. If you Google what commercial screen cleaners are made out of, this is the combo you get. (Go ahead, check. It won’t hurt my feelings.)
