News AM Products offers water-based, alcohol-free screen cleaners (8/1/2007) Flatscreen TVs are on the verge of relegating traditional CRT (cathode ray tube) TVs to the history books, just as they have done in the PC sector, but most owners are still unaware that cleaning them improperly can seriously damage their new pride and joy. There are two major hazards. The first is that flatscreen surfaces - which are mostly plastic - are easily scratched by conventional housekeeping cloths or kitchen roll, scratches that are visible even after cleaning just a few times. The best material to use is micro-fibre with round fibres and soft ends. No 2 is that many of the conventional so-called flatscreen cleaning kits currently available are wholly unsuitable for the job as they contain high levels of Isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Tests recently conducted by Danish accessories manufacturer AM Products, using 100 per cent IPA on 8 different brands of used flatscreens, showed visible, physical evidence of damage just 2 days after the screens were exposed to IPA-based cleaning fluid. The IPA had permeated through microscopic scratches and pores in the surface of the LCD screens and caused visible bubbling in the screen's underlying material. Months of treatment using AM's specially developed water-based, alcohol-free screen cleaner formula, however, resulted in absolutely no damage whatsoever. That cleaner is now available nationwide in a complete range of designer screen-cleaning products - for Flatscreen TVs and monitors - from AM Products, priced from £9.99 to £19.99. Protect your investment! iClean Screen Cleaner - £19.99 Available in white or black this sensuous acrylic package contains 35ml of our alcohol-free cleaning fluid.
