Hey all it's winter here and that unfortunately means colds. I was told by my delivery person to use the microfiber cloth and nothing else to clean the touch screen. I now have a cold and don't want to spread germs to my family, so am wondering what can I use to disinfect the touch screen without damaging it.
My initial thought was to put a tiny amount of 70% isopropyl alcohol/ aka rubbing alcohol on the micro-fiber cloth and wipe the screen. Does anyone see any potential issues with this?
This PhD in organic chemistry seems to think it's probably okay with most plastic displays:
Why isopropyl alcohol is best for cleaning electronics displays - iCloth Avionics Wipes
Tesla Owners manual says to use the cloth only, NO cleaners:
"Clean the touchscreen and instrument panel using a soft lint-free cloth specifically designed to clean monitors and displays. Do not use cleaners (such as a glass cleaner)" (page 149)
