But ask the hive mind how to disinfect a touchscreen and you’ll get a load of snark. Why do you want to disinfect it? Are you some kind of germ-a-phobe? Don’t you know the germs came from your hand anyway? Just wash your hands you moron!

I really laughed at this, I’m very surprised by this reaction. The solution?

I poured a bit of the alcohol on the pad, rubbed my touchscreen, then wiped it down with a lint free cloth.

I’ve always used alcohol to clean the screen of my devices and the keyboard.

Just turn the device off first, just in case.

At home I use rubbing alcohol and at work I use the disinfectant sprays they have outside the bathrooms.

Edit: a comment on Hacker News links to apple’s support page that advises against using alcohol because of the oleophobic coating.
