Best way to clean 2010 MBP antiglare screen

Hi guys,
Anyone got any tips on the best way to clean the antiglare screen on 2010 MBPs?
I have a couple of fingerprint smudges etc. on it but haven't wanted to attempt to clean it with anything as I don't know much about the surface of the screen (and therefore what might potentially ruin it!)
Thanks!

Do not use any cleaning agents other than pure (preferably distilled) water, so no residue is left.
Have 2 soft cloths. Dampen one, wipe the screen with it in even up/down motion, and then immediately dry up the screen with the dry cloth, so no streaks are left. Do not rub too much, just gently mop up the thin film of water.
This works really well for finger prints and stuck dust.
If you only have a few dust specs, try compressed can of air first.

Best way to clean 20" iMac G5 screen

Anybody know the safest way to clean the 20" LCD screen? I have a bottle of KlearScren. I think it's best to spray onto the cleaning cloth and then wipe the screen, but is there a suggested wiping motion so as not to scratch or damage the screen? Am I being to timid about it?

Hello again JoHo,
I mean totally disconnect the machine from any where near any power source.
Shut down correctly and then pull the plug from the wall BEFORE making any attempt to clean the computer.
I never use 3rd party cleaning products. Water had alwyas been good enough.
Using distilled water is even better. The cloth must be lint free and as soft as you can find. Avoid synthetic materials.... They can leave scratches.
Again I stress that the cloth must be only just damp - If it drips its too wet!!!
Please post back when you have done the cleaning so that I, at least, know that you have not been electrocuted
Hope that helps some
Regards
Ian

What is the best way to clean the iPad mini screen?

What is the best way, recommended by Apple to clean the Ipad Mini screen (ie: type of paper or cloth and what solution) ?

It's a damp soft cloth. Like a microfiber cloth you'd see for eyeglass cleaning. Damp, not wet, and just water, no chemicals.
Unless your screen is really grungy, simply wiping away the fingerprints should help.

What is the best way to clean your iPhone 5 screen ?

I Just bought an iphone 5 and i was wondering how i can clean my screen.
I used an eyeglass cloth, can i use that ?
Or is there a better way ?
Thnx!

I never used any spray ever with the cloth so there cannot be any ''leftovers'' of spray in the cloth.
I guess my eyeglass cloth also is microfiber, but not for sure. But its very soft and there is no dirt in it. And its linnen free. And it also works awesome. Fingerprints are ereased very easily but i don't want to damage my screen.
Does anyone know if this can damage (by any reason) ? And if so, i used i one time, will it already be damaged ?:)
Thanks!

What is the best way to clean my Macbook Pro screen?

Everytime I have had my Mac in at Vertical IT in St Kilda they clean my screen and my machine which is a brilliant service but I always forget to ask them what they use to do it? I have heard windex may do the trick but doesn't it have chemicals in it that could damage the screen? Thanks!

Cleaning Your MacBook Display

Best way to clean screen glass

Okay, so there shouldn't even be any finger smudges on the new screen, but they're there. What is best way to clean them off? One question is wet or dry? And if one way is preferable, what is best to use? Long ago it was advised not to use things like glass cleaners on computer screens, but my MacBook Pro is less than 2yrs old and although I guess it won't be hard to clean off the smudges, in the process I want to be careful not to injure the glass.
Recommendations?

Your display glass is ordinary glass, it's extremely hard, and it's not vulnerable to much of anything except sharp impacts. It has no delicate coating on it like the LCD screen behind it. Apple will never say so, but it's fine to use glass cleaner on it, as long as you spray it onto a cloth rather than directly onto the screen, and studiously avoid letting any drips run down it.
The truth is, I've used various flavors of glass cleaner on all six of my Apple notebook screens for the last 17 years with no ill effects at all, and this MBP screen is the only one that's had a pane of glass in front of it.

I have used WINDEX ELECTRONICS for about the past 6+ months:

I apply it with a small damp microfiber cloth and wipe the excess off with a large microfiber cloth. The display looks the same when it came out of the box.
THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ORDINARY WINDEX GLASS CLEANER.

HT3249 best way to clean display screen in ipad?

What is the best way to clean display screen on ipad4?

Hello earl6,
The following article provides details on how to clean various Apple products.
iPads
iPad and iPad 2
Handle your iPad with care to maintain its appearance. If you are concerned about scratching or abrasion, you can use one of the many cases sold separately. To clean iPad, unplug all cables and turn off iPad (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the onscreen slider). Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPad. iPad has an oleophobic coating on the screen; simply wipe iPad’s screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and may scratch your screen.

Best way to clean screen?

Every now and then my screen gets slighty dirty. What is the best way to clean the screen? Recommended products??

My MacBook came with a beautifully packaged microfiber cleaning cloth in the same box with the user guide and install discs. I don't plan on using it, but you can find similar cleaning cloths at an optometrist or the eyeglass repair/contact lens care section of most discount stores (Wal-Mart, Target, etc). I personally buy eyeglass cleaning cloths at the Wal-Mart optical dept afor use on my glasses, cameras, and LCD displays.
