I have tried the rubber (or eraser) on the screen but that didn't do anything.
(It is a nice 22" monitor I got of freecycle, free since it has a scratch on it, like a ring scratch)

Whatever you try, don't push too hard or you'll damage the LCD matrix behind.

by scrath do you mean it looks like someone passed by the front with something sharp in a single fine line ?

or do you mean someone has dug something through the screen and you can see a solid pixel line when its powered ?>
if the former some clear nail polish (when its turned off) and lying with the screen flat (so it wont run) should fix the problem (obviously make sure to clean the area properly first and let it dry fully first) a fine bead line applied with some thin cotton thread should fix the scratch making it invisible once the system is powered (don't use the polish applicator brush unlike plaster you don't want this surface gash filled proud to sand back smooth) its fiddly and if it goes wrong it will look even worse than before you started /
depends on the screen though it might be cheap enough to just buy a replacement off one of those Chinese sites

We had a cleaner who decided to clean all 15 monitors in the office.
We don't know what she used but most screens developed a bathroom window effect and had to be replaced
