Cleaning the Screen

LCD screens accumulate smudges and scratches all the time, especially touchscreens.
To clean the Chromebook screen:

Choose a non-abrasive cloth or towel.
Shut the computer off and disconnect the power cable.
Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft dry cloth.

If any marks remain on the screen:

Moisten the cloth with LCD cleaner.
Gently stroke the cloth across the display in one direction (moving from the top of the display to the bottom).

Plastic and glass cleaners containing ammonia may leave a glare-causing film, so use a computer monitor specific cleaner.
Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, and then wipe the screen with it.
Never spray or pour any liquid directly on the LCD panel.
Be sure the LCD screen is dry before closing it or using the computer.
