Electronic Wipes Are A Bust By BillyG on - Updated Sep 18, 2011
I purchased these wipes for my flat screen computer monitor, thinking they might perform better than window cleaner and a paper towel.
I was wrong. This product is a waste of money!
First off, the wipes are not cut into individual sheets, only perforated, and vaguely perforated at that. They are difficult to tear and, if you are not careful, you will pull out a long strand of ten or more sheets, instead of just one.
Their cleaning ability also leaves much to be desired. I have found that, although it seems as if they are doing a good job, when the screen dries, it is streaked and looks worse than before. Repeated attempts to get rid of the streaks only make the screen look worse.
And even though the product label says that it reduces dust build-up, in my opinion, the screen gets dusty, more quickly versus using window cleaner.
I have since taken the remaining product back to Wal-Mart for a refund. From now on, I will go back to using window cleaner and a paper towel or soft cloth to clean my computer screen.

Had 1 for you! I like your compromise! WW-V:)
Whats wrong with window cleaner? LOL, My favorite brand is.... LOL!
I'm glad you saved me the cost of buying these cleaning cloths. But, I'm a bit afraid of using window cleaner on my computer screen! Yikes!
I'm fairly certain the initial review was unfair. I've been using nice'n clean electronic wipes or over eight months and I use them daily. The best technique is to wipe the device thoroughly first and then wipe it clean with a micro-fiber cloth like you get with eye glasses or camera equipment. In my opinion, by applying correctly, you won't fine a better product and I check my results with a special light that shows any smears etc. I haven't found any other retail product that passes this test.
