Sometimes I use Endust and other times a vinegar and water mix. I find that using plain water doesn't do much except streak the screen. I do smoke so the screen gets that nasty film on it and needs to be cleaned regularly. I get those spots also but don't know what they are from or how they got there unless it's nicotine.

I don't have a flat screen. My monitor is old. At times it looks like some of the finish is coming off. I have sneezed with food in my mouth over the years but always turned my head....lol You might call a computer store to find out if they suggest a special cleaner.

to clean my keyboard i get that air in a can from staples and spray it on the keys to keep the dust away. i also use it to clean the hard drive and the printer.
i tried it on my speakers to see if the reason we have "chipmunks" in them is because there is dirt but nope, we still have them inside. we even got new speakers but nothing worked. the computer is brand new so it is not the computer
doea anyone here know how to fix this problem

The computer is use is a so called gift from my husband on one valentine's day. I say so called, because though I use it, for every practical reason, he still happens to be the paranoid owner! Always fussing about what to doownload,what not to, what site to open, when to take a back up and when to let it go on an auto standby, someone would think, he's a geek !! So I never clean the computer screen and when he points out that I have been lazy, I simply say it belongs to him and so he better clean it up !!

Yep i clean the screen of my laptop most of the times as dust sticks over its screen so i use to clean it regularly from time to time.I use a solution anti static for cleaning the screen and it cleans it out completely.So as the laptop screen is LCD so it really needs to be cleaned up, so i do.

To clean the screen I use a soft piece of cloth.
Sometimes, I eat while I'm on the computer, so I had loads of crumbs in my keyboard. What I did was to take off all the keys and clean it with a vacuumcleaner.
If ever take of the keys, take a picture or something like that of your keyboard before you do it, so you know exactly where to put them back on.

specks of food?? what have you been eating in front of your computer jill? ^__^
i usually clean my monitor with a slightly wet rag. i clean it when it is turned off. i wipe it lightly and after that, i will wipe it with a dry tissue.

jillhill my monitor is fairly new and was a gift so
with it were these cleaning cloths saturated in some
chemical . I use those as they are soft and clean really
efficienty without scratching the surface of my led
monitor. I love this monitor so am not going to take
any chances of scratching its surface. its thin screen and
light weight and the bigger screen are so heavenly I
can just not praise it enough.You can get these cloths
that are made just for monitors at any electronics store.
