<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think perhaps you might reconsider using a vinegar solution to clean your touchscreens. The acid, even more dilute than the typical 4-7% dilutions readily available, can apparently damage anti-glare coatings and make touch screens less
sensitive.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Balancing the potential damage to screens versus the frequent disinfecting (or at least sanitizing) required to combat SARS-CoV-2 can be a little daunting. Personally, I've taken to simply washing my phone with soap and water. SARS-CoV-2
is covered with a fatty layer, which is destroyed by soap. So, as with hand washing, a simple scrubbing should be effective as a sanitizing method. (Now, my own phone is fully submersible, so I admittedly sometimes do wash it just for personal amusement at
the strange looks I get from others that happen to be nearby.) I don't necessarily recommend taking a bucket of soapy water and pouring it over your self checks. (However, if you do, please take video.) But changing your solution to a simple soap-and-water
solution might be a simple, effective, and cheap way to combat coronavirus. Use your microfiber cloths, saturate the cloth and ring it out a bit, then use it to clean the display. I'd suggest using a little (but reasonable!) amount of pressure when you clean.
Your goal is to destroy/remove viruses, not etch the display.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The soap-and-water concept is the same as for hand washing. Soap breaks the protective fatty barrier around coronaviruses, killing the cells. If you're not comfortable solely doing that, then you can probably intersperse occasional use
of chemical sanitizers/disinfectants designed specifically for screens, which might arguably be a more guaranteed/effective method, but comes with added cost and possible availability issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">An alternate method I've discussed with one of my libraries is to use a flame thrower. They're apparently legal in Ohio, with the appropriate county license. However, while apparently effective at disinfecting screens, it appears that there
are...side effects.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lastly, a disclaimer: I'm not a virologist and haven't personally tested and watched as a small percentage of SARS-CoV-2 struggle for their last heaves of life only to die alone in some isolated petri dish. I'm just regurgitating stuff
I've learned on the internet just like nearly everyone else and applying some experience and common sense. So, reader, please take my opinion with the proper grain of salt and apply your own learning, research and experience when coming up with your preferred
sanitizing method!<o:p></o:p></p>
