Don’t use hand sanitizer on your 15” screen

[C141medic]

I personally use this. It kills everything

I realized so long if you wipe the screen with something wet, it will act as you described.

Reboot the screen will resolve the problem

In all seriousness, this is a great reason to have a glass screen protector on the display.
I clean mine with Windex Disinfectant.
Done.

You have to be more specific. Antibacterial soap will work just as any other soap will work if used properly.

Soaps will work. Any soap breaks down the barrier surrounding the virus. However antibacterial spray, wipes (without alcohol) doesn’t do anything. 70% alcohol, Use 5 tablespoons (1/3 cup) of bleach in one gallon of water or 4 teaspoons of bleach in one quart of water are what works. #iworkinpublichealth

Why not put on a screen protector and use 70% isopropyl alcohol to clean it? I carry a packet alcohol prep pads in the car to clean the screen.

As I CORRECTLY stated in my post that you voted Disagreed antibacterial and antiviral are 2 different things. Antibacterial soap has triclosan added to help retard the reproduction of any bacteria (a living organism) not killed by washing. Viruses (not technically life) don't reproduce outside of a host cell so triclosan or any other antibacterial drug (antibiotics) have NO effect on them.

Soap is 100% the same effect on viruses as antibacterial soap. If you take triclosan out of antibacterial soap and rub on your hands it will have 0 effect of viruses.

It's like going to the Dr and getting antibiotics for a cold. It is a waste of resources since they have no effect on a virus.

Doesn't the manual say to use mild soapy water? I don't really remember and I haven't tried it myself so don't quote me on that.

I posted a clip of the manual earlier in this very thread. Here it is again.

Well, your second post was factually incorrect. I stated such in my reply. This is for the disagree. But in all seriousness, you are likely an adult and shouldn’t care about strangers liking or not liking your online posts.

Who?

Wow this thread totally devolved

I put a N95 mask on my screen so I no longer need to rub it with hand sanitizer.

Ok I do that! But I used it several times and I always put it back on the plastic.
