Clean frequently.
The Surface touchscreen is coated to make it easier to clean. You
don't need to rub hard to remove fingerprints or oily spots. To clean your screen, use a
screen cleaning wipe or a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. When necessary, you can dampen the
cloth with one of the following: water, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution 70% or less, or
eyeglass cleaner.
Never use glass cleaner or other chemical cleaners.
Keep it out of the sun.
Don't leave your Surface in direct sunlight for a long time.
Ultraviolet light and excessive heat can damage the display.
Keep it covered.
Close the cover when you're taking your Surface with you, or if you're
not using it.
Cover and keyboard care
There's not much you need to do to keep the Touch Cover or the Type Cover working its best.
To clean it, wipe with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. Don't apply liquids
directly to your Surface or to the cover. Do this often to keep your Touch Cover or Type Cover
looking great.
If the spine or magnetic connections of your cover get dirty or stained, apply a small amount of
isopropyl alcohol (also called rubbing alcohol) to a soft, lint-free cloth to clean.
