text: how do i clean my monitor screen on my laptop? i have a dell inspiron 6000 and the screen has gotten dirty, how do i clean it? wow you should've seen me the first time my dell laptop got dirty...i tried everything  if you don't want to buy anything for it, take a soft cloth and use a little bit of warm water...wipe the screen lightly from right to left starting a new row with each stroke...  ps. the warm water streaks doesn't streak whereas the cold does..but don't use burning hot water  however, if you're screen is merely dusty, theres no need to wet the cloth at all...but if it's dirty as in little specs, then wet it a little  hope this helps and ur screen is squeeky clean
