See the manufacturer's cleaning guide.

How to properly clean a laptop or computer screen
There are basic precautions in screen cleaning technique:
- Do not use paper towels to clean screens. They are too hard and scratch the surface of the computer.

- Avoid using tap water for cleansing. Tap water is too hard, minerals can damage the surface of the screen and leave microcracks.
- Do not spray water or cleanser directly on a laptop or computer screen.
- Do not rub the screen or other surfaces too roughly.
- Never use bleach, washing powder or ammonia.
- Clean up your computer when it's unplugged.
