3. TV or computer screens

Don’t, just don’t! Spraying Windex on monitors can damage them because it’s intended to warp plastic, and it’s easy to do this on the tint of your flat panel screens. You better use a damp cloth or electronic wipes to clean the screens.

If you need to clean a little deeper than just the dust, use isopropyl alcohol, commonly known as isopropanol, which will work wonders. Keep in mind to use light movements when cleaning your screens to not cause damage by pushing too hard, as they are very sensitive.

4. Copper

Copper appliances will be affected by the alcohol that Windex contains. It can affect the patina and cause permanent discoloration. You better use water only and a microfiber cloth.

  1. I quit buying Windex (or any generic) years ago. Alcohol, vinegar, or soap and water with a microcloth will always do a better more shiny job. Windex just smears and makes a film that is hard to get off.

  2. OMG!!!
    JUST DONT USE WINDEX AT ALL!!
    The world will end as you know it and the SC Johnson Company will go out of business!

  3. So what CAN I use Windex on if not windows, shower doors and windshields???? The only thing left seems to be mirrors.

  4. So this might come across as a STUPID question, but WHAT can I use Windex on?

    BTW, what can I use to clean my Italian dogs and live seat? Thanyx in advance.

  5. I have been using Windex to clean everything in my apartment for years. I have yet to see any bad results. Until I see any damage from Windex, I’ll continue to use it.

  6. So shouldn’t use windex to clean windows? Should I not use dish soap for dishes or laundry soap for laundry? I’m confused.

  7. You told us ,in the most annoying format I must say, what not to use windex and might add not even windows ?? I thought that’s what windex was made for. The ads take up more room than the text does SO EFFING ANNOYING!!! Not to mention it roams the page trying to force us to look at it . Which makes me more determined not to look !

  8. So if you shouldn’t use Windex ( which I believe is advertised as a window cleaner) on windows or the other 12 surfaces listed ( which is pretty much everything) then what would you use Windex for??

  9. Omg ! That’s what happened to my couch using windex, dried and cracked badly 😢 😫 is it possible to fix ??? Help lol thanks 😊

  10. So what are you supposed to use Windex on if not windows? There is basically no reason to ever use or buy Windex.
