I had read a long time ago that you shouldn't clean computer monitors or TV screens with regular glass cleaners because they would damage the coating that the manufacturer applies to reduce glare on the screen. Do scanners have a glare reducing coating or something else that would necessitate not using normal glass cleaners? Guess I should read my documentation that came with my scanner.

It's good to use a glasscleaner, like maybe that kind of Windex that has vinegar in it. I've heard you shouldn't use normal Windex, but I usually do and I get very clean scans. Kellie
