What product do you use to clean fish finder screens?

  • Super User

Mostly microfiber cloth and occasionally a lens cleaning wipe.

Soft cloth wipes for the majority of it - if it needs a 'deeper' clean, I spray on the same stuff I use on my computer screens.

A lens cleaner and microfiber cloth will clean them quite nicely.  I have a few bottles of Crizal lens cleaner that I got from my eye doctor but any lens cleaner will do.

Make sure you use a cleaner intended for an LCD screen. Not a glass cleaner.

Any recommendations?  I can easily fill a squirt bottle with vinegar/water or alcohol/water like HBird or Lowrance recommends, but am also open to buying a bottle.  I searched a bunch and this was the closest thread so I figured I'd ask here.

I can check for you when I get home today.  I bought a 3 pack of something over the winter and it works really good on my lowrance units.  I also use it on cell phones, tablets, and other electronics in the house too.

Just mix up one part 5% white vinegar, one part iso alcohol, and one part distilled water.  The acetic acid in the vinegar will help break up any calcium deposits left by drying water droplets.  The isopropyl alcohol will help the mixture to evaporate more quickly and cleanly, and the distilled water will help to keep from adding more calcium deposits.  And it's not rocket science.  You can omit any one of those or get ratios pretty far off and still have a safe and effective product.  


Those LCD screens are water resistant and made of plastic (usually acrylic, I believe).  So long as you use a clean microfiber cloth and don't apply any chemicals that can melt the plastic, you'll be fine.  And spray the rag, not the screen, just to be on the safe side.  The one to watch out for is ammonia, which can melt acrylics and other plastics.   And ammonia is a common ingredient in many household glass cleaners.

I'm using a screen cleaner I got at Office Depot. It is made for cleaning computer screens.

I buy boxes of the individual lens wipe packets for my eyeglasses and I toss a handful of those in my crate for when I have to clean my screen. I also keep a cover on my head unit when it’s not in use.
