You're sitting at your desk on a normal workday, the afternoon sun shines directly on your screen, and you suddenly realise you don’t remember the last time you cleaned your screen, and that it was a bad idea ignoring it. Majority of us don’t even bother finding out how we're supposed to clean it. We see others do it, or are guilty of doing it ourselves – cleaning off the screen or trying to remove a smudge by wiping it with any material we can get our hands on.
