Electronics are an ever-increasing part of our lives. As such, they come into contact with many types of germs and need to be cleaned regularly.
Isopropyl Alcohol, also known as Rubbing Alcohol, is a great choice for cleaning many electronics including phone and computer screens, mouse/keyboard and hard surfaces like televisions and laptops.
Isopropyl Alcohol For Disinfecting Screens
- Both Apple and Samsung recommend an isopropyl alcohol solution of 70% for cleaning their devices' screens
- IMPORTANT: Spray the alcohol onto a lint-free cloth or wipe before applying to the screen to avoid the possibility of damage to the device
