[Tut] Do you smoke in your computer area? - theboner - 04-17-2010
If you are like alot of the other people out there that are smokers. You are most likely one of those who smoke in your home or computer area. Well I have news for ya your screen is completly covered in tar and other smoking by products.
The solution
1. Have an lcd screen with tar and smoke build-up
2. Have some papertowels or microfiber cleaning cloths
3. Rubbing alcohol
Steps
1. Turn off computer screen and unplug from outlet
2. Pour some rubbing alcohol on cleaning material
3. Wipe screenwith cleaning material
4. Look at cleaning material with disgust
5. Be amazed by how much clearer it looks
Pretty simple I have found that rubbing alcohol is probably the best cleaner to get rid of smoke build up on hard surfaces.
This will also work on your car windows. If you ever noticed if you are driving at night and when a passing car comes by there is a clear on your window it is because it is dirty and needs to be cleaned with rubbing alcohol.
The only downside is that rubbing alcohol has a very potent smell but at least it gets the job done.

Yea it can really screw with your computer screen or any other electronic that has a screen. As it is a brownish black clear film that builds up. You might not think its bad until you use a paper towel and some alcohol and clean and look at what it picked up.

Wow, I didn't know that you could build up tar on your monitor. I'm glad I don't smoke.
