Help. My 2.5-year-old just scribbled all over my computer screen with a pencil, while I was trying to finish getting myself dressed and ready for the day!

How do I clean it? Not Windex, I'm sure!

Is it a flat screen or regular monitor?

Flat screen, soft to the touch (LCD?).

To be safe, I don't spray the screen. I spray the paper towel and then wipe the screen with it.

Would that be Windex or Fantastic, Tom?

I guess Fantastic, since it's plastic. Windex is for glass, right?

I never had a problem using windex. Why wouldn't you use windex?

This may help, although it's been tried before and takes a good few seconds to load.

windex has ammonia in it, which will slowly but certainly destroy an LCD screen

See now, Dave, that's exactly the kind of information I was hoping to get. That would never have occured to me.

Put Fantastic on a clean paper towel and gently wiped the screen and it's good as new.

Thanks.
