Cleaning Screen Protector?

I'm still on my first screen protector (got a good one - forget the brand here at work) and I did an "ok" job of laying down originally - my question is:

What tool or HOW do you get the screen protector back up if you want to replace it? It seem pretty well stuck on. Also - cleaning it - what is the process - just wipe if off while stuck or does anyone take it off the axim and solidly clean it? I assume the sticky side can't be cleaned - I know I laid it down on a couple hairs on the screen so it's embedded between the protector and the screen.

Any info on this would be appreciated - thanks!

To remove the screen protector, you can try a piece of tape to "lift" it off...if that doesn't work, I think you will have to use a fingernail or toothpick to lift off the edges. Be careful you don't scratch the screen though.

I believe most screen protectors are not meant to be reused. However, if you have the Brando, you can simply wash it and then dry it with a hair dryer. To avoid lint etc., apply the protector in a room that has had the shower running for awhile (but not long enough for steam to appear). You can also use tape to remove the lint (i.e., apply the sticky side of the tape to the lint and lift).

I use the Write Shields for my Screen Protectors. To clean the slightly sticky side, I use tape. It gets up the dust and hair. For the side that is up, I use a microfiber cloth that I got for cleaning my glasses. If it needs something more, I have some kind of ammonia free spray that I use.

As for getting them up, I very gently lift a corner using my fingernail.
