I travel frequently, and it isn’t until I leave my house that I realize exactly how dirty my computer and iPhone screens are. I’m always embarrassed to be sitting on an airplane or in a conference working with a completely streaked and dusty screen. Cleaning a screen isn’t as easy as wiping it down with a shirtsleeve though. Electronic device screens are sensitive, and cleaning it the wrong way can result in scratches and other damage. It’s also important that you use a solution specifically designed for electronic screens. Standard household cleaners may be too harsh.

I recently had a chance to “test drive” the Mobile Clean & Go. The Mobile Clean & Go is TSA compliant for air travel, and includes a cleaning solution bottle and a two-sided screen cleaning cloth. The bottle is about the length and width of a credit card (but thicker), and the cloth is just about 2 inches wide, so they are great to use while traveling. In addition, the bottle is designed in a way that it won’t leak – making it very convenient for travel.

Using the Mobile Clean & Go is easy. They recommend that you turn your device off before cleaning. Then, you spray the solution directly onto the textured side of the cloth, and wipe it on the screen. That helps prevent drips and potential damage to your device. Then, you can use the smoother side of the cloth to polish the screen, which will help eliminate any streaks.

I’ve used the Mobile Clean & Go a bunch of times, and have found it to be very effective. The solution and the cleaning cloth combine to clean my device screens without streaking.  I’ll definitely pack it in my suitcase for my next trip.
