Vinegar Cleaning Computer Screen Recipe (for Blinds too!)
Keep your Ipad free of finger prints with affordable Vinegar and Distilled Water (Recipe below)
I have to get ready for massive amounts of company coming up over the next 2 months. We will probably have Thanksgiving for at least one side of the family, relatives over after my son’s wedding in December, and then we will be hosting Christmas for both sides of the family. GAHHH!!! But the very first large party I have to focus on is in early November, I will be hosting a bridal shower for my son’s fiance (with 25 guests)!

Get The House Clean
I need to get my house clean for all these events! The first thing I want to focus on is cleaning all my computer screens, tv screens and blinds, but I hate using all those chemicals all over the house. Also, cleaning supplies are so expensive! I checked on Amazon an electronic screen cleaner with a mere 2.2 oz of liquid is $9.34! What? I can’t afford that for all my cleaning. So I discovered that I could make my own COMPUTER screen safe spray for Heinz Cleaning Vinegar and Distilled Water.
- 1 cup distilled water
- 1 cup Heinz Cleaning Vinegar
- Measure out ingredients
- Mix ingredients together
- Place in clean spray bottle
- Label bottle clearly
- Spray on to a clean cotton cloth (old t-shirt or handkerchief), lightly wipe screens.
- You can use this solution on Ipads, laptops, desk tops, or any LCD monitor Screen.
- Do not apply pressure when wiping screens
- Do not spray cleaner directly on screen of computer
- Do not use tissues, toilet paper or towels to clean screen. These will scratch your screen.
- Turn off your monitor when cleaning so you can see fingerprints, cough sprays, etc
- Do not prepare this solution with tap water or mineral water, this will result in white spots/streaks on your screen
- Do not use any solutions that contain Acetone, ethyl alcohol, toluene, ethyl acid, ammonia, or methyl chloride
Other Tips for Cleaning with Heinz Cleaning Vinegar
When I was young, my Grandma used Heinz Vinegar to rinse my hair after it was shampooed. She also used it to clean windows. I guess she was ahead of her time. My mom used Heinz Vinegar for removing water rings (combine with 1:1 with Olive Oil) and she added it to the 1/2 cup of vinegar to the wash to brighten clothes. If you Google “Cleaning with Vinegar” you will find many articles that will point you toward more ways to use this all natural product.
Your vinegar cleaning mixture stores nicely in a spray bottle, be sure to properly label it!
Vinegar provides economy for Cleaning Projects
Women over 45 (and all our younger friends)–This solution shown in the recipe above is so economical when compared with store brands. Store brands run $4.25/0z versus if you use the recipe above with Heinz Cleaning Vinegar it will fun you $00.03/oz .
Small spray bottles work great for travel
I carry a small bottle of the solution and scrap of soft cotton rag with me in my computer bag. I find when I travel that my Ipad and laptop seem to pick up all kinds of debris. This solution quickly cleans both of them up and I don’t die of embarrassment when I show my computer screen to my clients.
Clean your blinds with Heinz Vinegar and Distilled Water Solution (1:1) as well.
I also discovered that I can clean my blinds with the same #HeinzVinegar solution that I used for my computer screen. How awesome is that? I don’t need a bunch of separate cleaners, I can just use this one mixture for several of my cleaning purposes. With as much as I have going on in the next few months, any time saving or cost savings in the cleaning area will be beneficial!

I love your tips. I never thought to use Heinz for this!
It is supposed to kill germs too. Great for sanitizing the kitchen.
I didn’t know you could use it on computer screens though. Mine need cleaning!
Thanks 🙂
My husband is in charge of making cleaning solutions and there seems to be vinegar in all mixtures!
Dude, that is pretty freaking awesome. I would of stayed away from the ipad with Vinegar for no reason
This is so exciting, I’ve used apple cider vinegar for treating pet ailments, and vinegar to prevent ants, but I’m a newbie when it comes to cleaning. This could be a money saver!
I see clean screens in my near future…
I cannot wait to use this for my blinds! I hate cleaning my blinds – it’s always the last chore that gets completed in my home. Maybe I won’t hate it so much with this recipe?
Yes! Love a natural non hazardous cleaning product!
Go Vinegar!
Great post.
Dah! Thanks for the reminder of this easy and economical solution to dirty screens.
I never knew that there was a vinegar specifically made in cleaning strength. I’m going to definitely have to get some. Thanks.
My dad has a thing for cleaning floors and always used water and vinegar when we were little. He never used it on the blinds though thanks for the tip!
I was just looking at my computer screen and thinking it seriously needs a good wipe-down. I’m going to need to try this solution. – Katy
TY for sharing such great tips Shelley. Thank you for telling a great story of cleaning!!!
Love this story. I’m slowly going green and love the health and wallet benefits. The link above to Google + seems to be broken (FYI)
I use vinegar all over the house. It’s especially handy for a clogged drain with baking soda
Nice! I’ve never made my own cleaner but it’s so smart. Hubs was just talking about how washer cleaner is just bleach!
I only use vinegar and baking soda as cleaning agents. I use vinegar for my floors, dishes, counter tops, and windows. Mixing it with baking soda I then clean my sinks, tubs, and oven.
I’ve been looking for something to clean my iPad. I’m going to try this first chance I get.
