Many of you probably have a tablet. With the passage of time, as it is used, marks are left on the screen of it, something that is normal for the use itself. Although it is important that we clean it as well. This is something that generates many doubts among consumers. What is the best way to clean the screen?
There are a number of aspects that we must take into account. But thanks to them it turns out possible to properly clean the screen of a tablet. Thus, this can be done without fear of damage to said screen, which is one of the main concerns of users.
Before cleaning the screen
Before we start cleaning the screen of the tablet, it is good to mention a couple of aspects. If we want to prevent our device from getting too dirty, especially avoiding marks on its screen, it is likely that the use of a screen protector is convenient. Since these types of products protect the screen, also against bumps or scratches, they are also easier to clean than the screen itself. So they are a good option.
Also the use of a cover is a good option to consider. Again, it will help us protect the tablet at all times against bumps, falls and dirt. Also protecting the screen from it. The selection of covers is wide, although a cover that also covers the screen of the tablet is preferable.
What do we need to clean the tablet screen
To be able to clean a tablet screen we are going to need a microfiber cloth. It is an accessory that we often get when we buy a smartphone or even a tablet. Therefore, you probably have one in your house. Otherwise, you can always use the cloth with which you clean the glasses, which is also a microfiber. These types of cloths are ideal because they will not cause scratches at any time, in addition to avoiding the release of particles.
Generally We do not have to use liquids when cleaning the screen of a tablet. With a cloth of this type it is usually sufficient, in most cases. Although there is likely a stain that resists and you do not want to press too hard. In such a case, distilled water can be used. But you should not pour water on the screen (as we tell you below). There may be people who have specific products for cleaning the screen. This type of product can be used at all times in it, because they are specific for this task.
Also the use of alcohol gel, a product that is used to disinfect hands today, once we have finished it is a good way to remove certain stains. So we have to make sure that we have all these products at home in order to start the process of cleaning our tablet screen. If we already have everything at home, then we are ready to go.
Steps to clean the tablet screen
Cleaning the tablet screen is an important process, in which we do not have to make mistakes, to avoid damage to the screen of it. If we have all the products that we have mentioned in the previous section, then we are ready to start cleaning it. We simply have to follow a series of steps in this regard:
- Turn off the tablet: It is much easier to see spots when the screen is off
- Take a microfiber cloth and start cleaning the screen in small circles. It is the best method we can use to clean the screen and remove all stains
- If there are stains that are not removed, we can use some liquid (distilled water) or products to clean the tablet
- Dampen a cotton cloth in distilled water and pass it over the screen in circles, without exerting pressure
- Let the tablet air dry (do not touch anything on it)
When this time has passed, we must check if all stains have been removed from the screen. If we see that they have all been removed, then we no longer have to do anything else with the tablet. But if we see that there are spots, we must repeat the process, focusing on all these spots on the screen.
Once we're done we have to wash said cloth that we have used. We put it to soak with some warm water and a little soap. Once drained, we must not squeeze it, but we must hang it and let it dry. Until it is completely dry we should not use it at any time. In the future we can use it again to clean our tablet.
What should we not do
When cleaning the screen of our tablet there is a series of aspects that we should not do. It is common for us to think that there are products that are good for this process, but that they really are not. Therefore, it is good to be clear about what we should not use at any time, and thus clean the screen without anything going to happen on it:
- Alcohol-based cleaners: It is normal that many people think that this is something that will help us to remove stains. But the reality is that it is something that can cause damage to said screen. Since what it does is damage the protective layer that is in many devices such as tablets or smartphones. So we must avoid the use of these types of products at all times.
- Paper towels, facial tissues, or thick cloths: It may happen that we think that one of these products will help us remove dirt from the screen on our tablet. But the reality is that these types of products have the possibility of generating more problems, since they dream of scratching the screen. So we must avoid its use.
If we avoid the use of these products then we will not have problems when cleaning the screen of our tablet. The process will be safe and simple in this way.
