   Step 2

   Dampen & wipe with microfiber cloth

   First, you’ll need a touchscreen-safe antimicrobial spray and a microfiber cloth. (There’s a rift in popular opinion when it comes to whether alcohol-based sprays are OK to use on touchscreens. Again, refer to your manufacturer’s instructions.)

   Dampen a microfiber cloth with the spray, being careful not to oversaturate the cloth.

   Wipe down the screen, avoiding all openings.

   Wait, then wipe dry

   Allow the spray to sit for the amount of time noted on the product packaging.

   Wipe your screens dry with a fresh microfiber cloth.

   Don’t forget that your tablet cover needs to be cleaned from time to time. You can wash this with dish soap and a microfiber cloth.

   1. Remove your tablet from the cover.
   2. In a bowl, mix a couple of drops of dish soap with warm water.
   3. Dip your cloth into the solution so that it’s damp, not saturated.
   4. Wipe down the cover.
   5. Rinse the cloth until it runs clean and then wring it out so that it’s damp.
   6. Wipe the cover again to remove soapy residue.
   7. Leave the cover to air dry overnight or wipe it down with a dry cloth or paper towel.
   8. Make certain the cover is absolutely dry before re-inserting your tablet.
