Glass cleaner or Endust for Electronics.\n\nIf you decide to use glass cleaner, spray it onto a paper towel and use the paper towel to clean the screen rather than spraying the cleaner onto the screen.

Greetings from the Yahoo Brain in New York City!  \nHope you're watching the live Answers webcast at http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html !\n\n\nHere's some tips I've found to be helpful:  \n* Do not spray anything except canned air directly on the keyboard.\n* To get excess dust, potato chips, or paper clips out of the keyboard:\n  o Try turning the keyboard upside down & shake\n  o Try canned air: Tilt keyboard on end & spray air at an angle between keys (if you just spray the air directly into the keyboard, you are more likely to just force the dust into the cracks.\n  o Try a small vacuum cleaner with crevice tool\n  o Try popping the keys off if you need to get to something like a paper clip: Use a key or screwdriver under the edge of the key. \n* To get rid of the grime from the keys:\n  o Use a degreaser (like Formula 409) (spray on a paper towel) to clean the keys. Use a damp paper towel afterward if you need to remove any residue left from the degreaser. WARNING: Some paper towels shred, if you don't want to clean out the paper crumbs after cleaning the keyboard use non-shredding paper towels or a clean cloth. \n\nNow hey, use an air can blaster, but please, don't become an inhaler.  Over 150 people (mostly kids) die every year from this.  See link for me info: http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/usworld/news-article.aspx?storyid=47153\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.

Your LCD screen is as sensitive as your eyeball. No harsh chemicals, no harsh abrasives.\n\nIf you think the screen is not that sensitive, press on the screen very gently with an index card and watch the screen display image start to distort. Again think eyeball while cleaning.\n\nI use distilled water and a soft cloth. \n\nIf this is a notebook don't mistake keyboard impressions as dust or grime. I have seen dozens of Dell and Apple notebook key images scored into the LCD screen. They can't be cleaned.

I have a Dell and the owner's manual says NOT to use alcohol.  So I never have.  But I did get a box of specially prepared cleaning cloths for computer screens (100 to a box) for about $3.50 in WalMart.  And they've worked well.  If you use one a week, it'll last almost 2 years.  Not a bad investment.  :-)

You can just use windex or even water and tissue or a damp cloth.\n\nIts okay, you wont damage it.

If there is a bad bit o'dirt on it and you can't remove it with a dry piece of cloth, you can dampen the cloth but be sure you unplug the laptop first and take the battery out. Then be careful none of the liquid gets inside the machine (on the edges of the screen for example)

Buy a microfiber cloth, This is what I use on my laptop, I used wet/dry towelets for laptops which suck. If its a CRT you don't have to use a fancy microfiber cloth.\n\nGood Luck,

NEVER USE windex or water.  Windex will chemically react with the screen and melt it.  Water just streaks more and if your cloth is too wet, it will seep into the bottom of the lcd and fry it.  Go to any computer store (or eletronics store) and get an LCD Cleaning kit or LCD anti static wipes.  They cost around $10 and will last a long time.

I use those Windex wipes. Then you dont have to worry about spraying anything on the monitor and the moisture getting down in the cracks and ruining it. Just wipe it over the screen and it's clean.

A soft cloth or cotton ball slightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).  Do not have it dripping wet, just damp...works great for cleaning the keys on the keyboard also.

Regardless of brand, the best way to clean a keyboard is to use airduster if you are just trying to get the dust out. If as you said, there is "gunk" under the keys, the best thing to do is probably safely remove the keys with a nice putty knife if the computer is powered off, then spray the board down with H2Orange (A enviorment safe cleaner, also safe on electronics) and wipe really good where the keys were. But make sure you don't lose the keys while they are off.\nGood luck!

personally, i turn it off, wait for it to cool down and then just use a normal duster on it, but dont put any pressure on the screen.\n\n"A standard yellow duster is normally suitable. Really stubborn fingerprints and biro marks should be treated with care since pressure on the screen could damage the liquid crystal cell behind. If it's all getting too much, you can try spraying some screen cleaning fluid onto the cleaning cloth (avoiding having free liquid slopping about) and gently buff the screen."\n\nDONT PUT LIQUID DIRECTLY ONTO THE SCREEN
