Remove crayon masterpieces from your TV or computer screen with WD40

Yikes!  Little ones got crayon all over your new flat screen tv??  Fear not! 
Apply a bit of WD-40 to a towel and hold it against the screen's surface instead of spraying it directly on the unit. After a few minutes (or as long as you can hold the towel in place) buff things off with a microfiber cloth and things should come clean.  The same premise should also work on your laptop screen.

Bonust Tidbits

• In San Diego in 1953, three guys founded the Rocket Chemical Company and attempted to produce rust-prevention solvents and degreasers for the aerospace industry.  Success came with the secret formula of WD-40, still used today.
• WD-40 literally stands for Water Displacement, 40th attempt. That's the name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who developed WD-40 back in 1953. The chemist, Norm Larsen, was attempting to concoct a formula to prevent corrosion-a task which is done by displacing water. Norm's persistence paid off when he perfected the formula on his 40th try.
• An aerosol can version for consumers debuted in 1958; the company was renamed for its only product 11 years later.
• The first truckload order was shipped to the U.S. Gulf Coast to aid rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Carla in 1961.  The product was used to recondition water-damaged equipment.
• While the ingredients in WD-40 are secret, we can tell you what WD-40 does NOT contain. WD-40 does not contain silicone, kerosene, water, wax, graphite, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), or any known cancer-causing agents.
