How to Remove Bubbles from a Screen Protector
Troubled by the bubbles trapped under your phone's screen guard. No worries, we have easy solutions on how to remove air bubbles from a screen protector. Read on for some help...
- First of all, if you do not want to remove the sticker and fix it back again, you can simply take a piece of cardboard or for that sake a card like a credit card, something that has sharp edges and simply swipe the card across the surface of the screen protector. Firmly drag out any air traps or bubbles that are visible and smoothen out the surface. You can also heat the sticker with a dryer, only slightly, so as to soften the protector. There you go, a bubble-free screen protector!
- For some this solution will not help, if dust is already trapped in the screen, you will have to clean the screen first and then fix the screen protector.
- Make sure you wash your hands of any dirt or grease. Next peel and remove the protector from the screen. Clean the screen with rubbing alcohol mixed with soap and water or a slightly damp and clean cloth. For a more squeaky clean and mirror finish, try to execute this in a damp place. Like in a bathroom, where the air is more humid after a hot water shower.
- You can also use some tape to get rid of the dust. Use scotch tape and place it across the screen, use many stripes, to cover the complete screen area. Leave a margin outside the screen edge to pull the strip. Now pull each strip carefully. This will give you a clean and dust free screen.
- Now fix the protector back on the screen, first fix the top edge of the protector, so as to align the sticker well.
- Make sure when handling the sticker always hold it on the edges to avoid any fingerprints on the screen. Now slowly and firmly roll the film out on the screen. Use the cardboard or any credit card to even out the film and get rid of the bubbles.
