The microfiber cloth and eyeglass cleaner is formulated to clean without removing the anti-reflective coating. Ammonia can definitely remove the anti-reflective coating on many glass surfaces. For particularly greasy surfaces, alcohol will work well to cut the grease.

When washing the microfiber cloth (And if you don't do this at least once every couple of weeks, might as well just be rubbing dirt on the screen.) do not use fabric softner in the washing machine, and no dryer sheets either. Both leave a residue on the fabric. They'll leave you with a smeary mess. (I speak from experience!)

For the Tim Taylor crowd, I recommend the Sand Blaster 2000. 2.5 HP of sand blaster power removes all grease stains and fingerprints from the glass, I guarantee it!

A couple few weeks ago, I was at a BB getting something for the computer. I had the use the can and when I went to wash my hands they had run out of paper towels... The BB in question sits between a Jewel and Target, but what did the geniuses at BB do?

They opened a BIG box of LARGE sized microfiber display cleaning cloth's and slit the bags open so you could grab them out and dry your hands.

I just love how a few thoughtless employees can find ways to drive up the cost of doing business.

It may be no big deal to them, but if it were my store and i walked in on that, I'd pass out. Friggin' Idiots!

no fast food knapkins and no stupid chems and your doing better that most.

I use the Ultimate Plush Towel.....$5.90ea.

It's super soft, and works great.

I have a client that uses an inside out sock and a watered down windex solution.

We buy the car leaning microfiber cloths from costco. Every plasma install gets a few of em. We actually clean the screen with the customer to demonstrat how its done.

Just a little water one corner, clean a portion of the screen with the water then dry it with the dry side. Move on to another part of the screen. This is of course only necessary when someone touched the screen and leaves a smudge. Otherwise just a quick dusting with the midrofiber does geat.
I do have to admit there have been times where we have had to mand handle a screen, usually a big guy or one mounted really high. In that case we smudge the screen like crazy and have to use some windex and a microfiber....no harm done.

Now if we could only get the message to house keepers. In six years we have seen three screens ruined by the use of aerosol glass cleaners. The customer looks to us for responsbility, we then point to the cleaning instructions we left which specifically state that cleaning crew should be instructed to never touch a plasma screen......

dont use any amonia based products. theyll screw
up the anti reflective coating. i always try
to use a lint free cloth that is damp.

There really are anti-reflective coatings on plasmas? Every plasma I have seen reflects so much light that if it reflected any more, it would glow in the dark (when OFF, dummy!)

Then how do they get rid of the smell?
