Screen cleaning
Screen cleaner
There are many different screen cleaning products on the market, and customers
receive varying advice on the matter from both flatscreen manufacturers and
distributors. Flatscreen surfaces differ in quality although most of them are made of
plastic. Plastic surfaces are very sensitive and are easily damaged or scratched by daily
use and cleaning.
Tests show that the use of the wrong cloth, such as normal housekeeping cloths, can
leave serious scratches on the surface even after cleaning only a few times. AM uses
only microfibre produced with round fibres and soft ends that ensure that the material
itself does not cause microscopic scratches.
Correct fluid and cloth are important
A comparison test where 2 sets of 8 different brands of used flatscreens were
intensively subjected to moisture and frequent cleaning with, respectively, 100% IPA
(alcohol that is used in many cleaning products) cleaning fluid and AM’s water-based
cleaning solution, showed clear results.
After only 2 days the screens exposed to IPA showed clear physical signs of being
affected. The IPA permeated through microscopic scratches and pores in the surface
and caused the underlying material to bubble up. It is clear that even small “invisible”
scratches are the culprit in the permeation of the alcohol.
Even after 3 months of exposure and cleaning with AM’s water-based formula, none of
the screen surfaces showed any form of visible effect, other than a clean screen!
AM screen cleaner formula
AM’s specially developed water-based screen cleaner formula contains no IPA or other
alcohol.
Our formula is effective, but also gentle. AM’s screen cleaner fluid can be used on all
types of screens or surfaces.

Bacteria on your keyboard
When did you last look at your keyboard? – Really looked! During the course of the
day, we touch thousands of different things that others have touched. Subsequently,
people sit down at their keyboards and merrily type away. You sneeze, spill a little
coffee or soda, perhaps a few crumbs also fall down into your keyboard. After a while,
a good mixture is formed that creates a breeding ground for bacteria – quite a lot of
bacteria.
A study performed by an American research centre has shown that there are approx.
510 bacteria per cm
2
on a keyboard in a normal office environment. There are only 8
bacteria per cm2 on a toilet seat. Where are you going to eat your next meal?
When a Canadian hospital determined that a malicious bacteria infection had spread
via their shared keyboards, they had no choice but to throw the infected keyboards out
in order to stop it from spreading.
IPA alcohol is a very effective bacteria-killer, while it also dissolves grease and dirt. IPA
dissolves filth, not the printing or anything else. AM keyboard cleaner is based upon
IPA and a number of other active washing substances that make for quick and efficient
cleaning of the keyboard.
