    Nail polish remover is acetone, which dissolves plastic. That's not a stain, the plastic is actually melted and deformed. Put a sticker over it.

    How do I remove a kerosene stain from a monitor screen?
    Community Answer
    Usually, a wet rag with a pin-head of dish soap is enough to clean a monitor screen, but stores sell special solutions to clean monitor screens, too. The secret ingredients are isopropyl alcohol, water, blue dye #42, and fragrance. They are a very weak solution of alcohol. You can save money by mixing your own. Wet a rag, and add a tiny dot of alcohol. Turn off the monitor and wipe. Personally, I'm less afraid of damaging the screens by using a dot of dish soap than alcohol.
