Default cleaning screen patronous?

Please Login to Remove!

does anyone know what you can use to clean the actual screen patronous while it is still actually installed on the curve?

i know that you can take it off, wash it under water, then let it dry in a dust-free environment, and re-install, but i don't want to do that.

i just want to wipe away all the smudges on it and get it looking as clear as when i first installed it.

is it okay to use rubbing alcohol? any suggestions?

I would just use a damp cloth and a microfiber cloth. I wouldn't use any alcohol.

use LCD screen cleaner, and the microfiber cloth, works very well. do not spray directly on the device, just on the cloth. keep in mind you do not need a lot, just enough to dampen the cloth. the best bet is still to remove it and use water/rubbing alcohol.

as a side note, you can use a cotton swab as well, if you dont have the cloth lying around.

Geeez...what's on the think that you would need to clean it with alchohol? I just use a damp cloth on mine and it comes nice and clean.

well the alcohol does *clean* it, where the water just rinses it off. either way works, just be very careful.

it's actually 'ScreenPatronus', which is a brand of screen protectors.

ScreenPatronus, Screen protector - the difference is amazing.

^^ Very nice products ^^

I just wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth if there is a smudge that swiping it across my shirt sleeve or pants won't clear off.
