Many households have alcohol or alcohol wipes that are used daily to disinfect their phones, and many people use them to wipe down their phone or computer screens, believing that they will be cleaner. However, this is not the right way. This article will explain why you can't wipe your screen with alcohol and provide a safer way to clean it to protect your phone and computer screens from damage. First of all, alcohol is an organic solvent that dissolves dirt and grease from the surface of the screen. However, if the alcohol is used without it drying completely, it may leave a watermark or mark on the screen, which not only does not achieve the cleaning effect, but also causes more damage to the screen. In addition, alcohol may also damage the coating or coating on the surface of the screen, making the screen more susceptible to scratches and abrasions. 
Alcohol is extremely effective for disinfection, destroying most bacteria and viruses. However, when it comes to mobile phones and computer screens, alcohol fails to do its disinfecting role. This is because mobile phones and computer screens are often coated with a special oleophobic layer and organic film that protects the screen from grease and stains. As an organic solvent, alcohol dissolves the protective film during the process of wiping the screen, thus destroying the protective layer of the screen.
In addition to this, alcohol also carries the risk of possible permanent damage to the screen. Some parts and materials on the screen may be sensitive to alcohol, and wiping the screen with alcohol for long periods of time may result in color changes, blurring, or even unresponsiveness. Therefore, alcohol is not suitable for cleaning mobile phones and computer screens. Since alcohol is not suitable for screen cleaning, what is the safer option?The following cleaning methods are recommended:
1.Specialized screen cleaning sprays: These products are specifically designed to clean the screen and effectively remove stains and fingerprints without damaging the protective layer of the screen. 2.Soft Fiber Cloth: Wiping the screen with a soft fiber cloth will not scratch the screen and can help remove stains and fingerprints. 3.Mixture of water and mild detergent: Mixing mild detergent with water and wiping the screen with a soft cloth dipped in the mixture can also effectively clean the screen without damaging the protective layer. In conclusion, to protect your phone and computer screen, avoid using alcohol or alcohol wipes for cleaning. Choosing a specialized screen cleaning spray, a soft fiber cloth, or a mixture of water and mild detergent is a safer option. Only by properly cleaning and protecting the screen can we ensure the long-term use and high-quality display of mobile phone and computer screens.
