How to clean POS touch screen
Answer
- Use a lint free micro-fiber cleaning cloth or soft towels
- Do not use abrasive cleaners (powders) or abrasive cleaning materials (scrub brush, scouring pad, etc.)
- Never dry with paper towels, facial tissues, or abrasive cloth. These items can cause tiny scratches in the touch screen. Always use a dry, clean, microfiber cloth to gently dry the screen
- Wipe the display gently with a dry cloth that is soft and lint-free first
- Use distilled water or touch screen cleaner (70% isopropyl alcohol)
- Spray the cleaner onto the cleaning cloth/towel first and then wipe the surface to be cleaned
- Do not spray cleaners directly onto the equipment.
- Never use ammonia-based glass cleaners, such as Windex
- The ammonia will destroy the screen membrane and cause permanent discoloration. In more severe cases, it will result in touch screens not working appropriately
- The cleaning cloth/towel should be damp but not soaked/dripping wet
- The surface of the equipment should quickly air dry and inn very humid environments a clean dry cloth/towel can be used to quickly dry the equipment
- Do not soak the electronic equipment with cleaning liquid
- Wipe the display surface in a circular motion to remove any dirt or residue from the touch glass
- Apply only slight, gentle pressure as you wipe the touch screen. The circular motion will ensure that any streaking is reduced as much as possible.
- The system can be left powered on when cleaning surfaces
- The cashier should be logged out of the POS application while cleaning
- Errant touch inputs are expected and normal during cleaning of touch screens while the touch screen remains wet
- Cleaning Frequency
- Recommend cleaning at the end of each shift
