<div dir="ltr">I did some research on this and discovered that most commercial cleaners are not recommended for screens because they contain chemicals that can break down the screen materials...and they also leave residues. We couldn't afford the commercial cleaners that are made for cleaning technology. Instead, my research indicated that a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar was an ideal solution for all parts of the Chromebook: case, screen, keyboard, everything. We have a supply of lint-free cloths (old t-shirts work great, too) and we make the solution in donated water bottles. 1 gallon of vinegar will do our entire elementary school of 550.<div><br></div><div>I set up stations in the library and everyone cleans his/her own.
