Swiffer sheets safe to use?

[Johnson184]

Are they safe to use on my LCD computer monitor or plasma tv? I've been using compressed air but it never gets all the layers of dust off.

It is best to use a clean anti-static microfiber sheet to clean TV. The swiffer sheets might have static electricity that will damage the TV.

Nothing but a microfiber cloth and sometimes a drop of distilled water should ever touch your monitor or TV screens.

I use a damp (damp as in, as little water as possible) microfiber cloth about once a week on mine.

I use a paper towel on the casing of my Pioneer, but the screen itself somehow never collects dust.

Distilled water and lint free cloth is what manufacturers recommend.
When I worked for RCA/GE we had several batches of tv showing up in warranty repair with the same symptom, front panel buttons did not work. People were spraying glass cleaner on the screen and some of it would run down the screen, leak behind the bezel and drip on the control, corroding them. We dubbed it the windex syndrome.

The ammonia in Windex is also bad for most anti-glare coatings.
