Best way to clean a leather Smart Cover?

I've tried water, and Iceland. And all it does it make the dirt smudges worse. Should I just buy a new case that isn't a smart cover?

some people have good results with water and a little amount of dishwasher soap, then hang it to dry
Other use product like Pledge

  • TS2634 What is the best way to clean the polyurethane smart covers?

    Hate the polyurethane Apple "smart" covers, but for some reason Apple did not create leather smart covers for the iPad Air. I know there is a leather case for the Air, but it's too bulky. I like the smart cover concept, but the polyurethane gets really dirty and smudgy and gross.
    What are best ways to keep this thing clean without ruining it? Thanks!

    Hi DGL23,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

    iPad Smart Cover and Smart Case—polyurethane
    To clean your polyurethane iPad Smart Cover / Case, first remove it from the iPad. Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Wipe the front of the Smart Cover / Case and the inside with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt.
    Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the polyurethane Smart Cover / Case.

    That's funny!  "Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPad."  That basically excludes every liquid on the planet, including water!
    All I can say is that I've been using a couple of light spritzes of Windex on my iPad when it gets really dirty, and it has not hurt it one bit.

  • How do I clean an iPad Smart Cover ?

    My Smart Cover is dirty. What is the best way to clean it ?

    Cleaning an Ipad smart case, cover or any case in general is fairly simple if you know what products to use.  However if you get it wrong you could end up destroying your case or Ipad so be careful and always test on small conscipicous areas first. 
    PU leather and real leather require different techniques.  PU leather is much easier to clean.  A slightly damp micro fiber cloth should do the trick but never apply anything directly to the cover always lint free cloth first.  The rubber is also a nice trick I have not heard of until now. 
    If using leather you will need to use special leather treatment otherwise the leather could dry out and crack.  I recommend lexol but car cleaning leather wipes etc will also do the trick.  If cleaning micro fiber on the inside always use a soft brush. 
    If there is tougher dirt on the case you will have to use more aggressive techniques found on my web page  how to clean ipad smart case

  • What's the best way to clean a sticky home key?

    I just purchased a brand new iPhone, and much to my dismay, something is causing the home key to stick. What's the best way to clean such an area? Can I do it myself, or is it best left to professionals? Thanks for your help.

    Not if the device is in warranty and the issue is a defect not caused by your negligence. Take it in and let Apple take a look at it. If you fool around with it yourself and really cause some damage, then your warranty will not cover the repair. Better to be safe than sorry.

    What is the best way to clean a white Apple keyboard?

    Take the batteries out if applicable, and use a very slightly damped lint-free cloth. Be very careful not to get any actual liquid into it. A brush would also be useful for cleaning between the keys: if you want to get fancy you can buy mini-vacuum cleaners for this, such as this one.

    what is the best way to clean a soft screen on a laptop

    i dont know what you mean by "a soft screen", but read this: To clean the screen on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down the computer and unplug the power adapter. Dampen the included cleaning cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.

  • What's the best way to cleanly stop Goldengate?

    For routine maintenance/upgrades, just {noformat} "stop er *" {noformat} should be preferred; and when all processes are stopped, mgr can (optionally) be stopped. If you really are waiting endlessly for this to return, the real question is "why": then, perhaps there are other parameters that can be adjusted to make GG stop more quickly. (On the other hand, {noformat} "stop mgr!" {noformat} is harmless, the "!" simply prevents it from asking "are you sure?" before stopping the process.)
    I really wouldn't use "kill" unless you really have a good reason to (and the reason itself requiring the process to be killed should be analyzed & resolved). To "kill" a process shouldn't cause data loss (GG always maintains checkpoints to prevent this) -- but still it seems unnecessary, unless there really is something that should be killed. (Aside: I mean, I can kill -9 / "force quit" my browser and/or 'halt' my laptop every time as well, and it would probably be "faster" to -- but it can cause issues (and wasted time) upon restart: i.e., fsck, recover sessions, whatever. Same basic idea, imo.)
    There's a reason there are different commands to 'stop' processes (stop vs. stop! vs. kill). Just for example, "stop replicat !" causes current transactions to be rolled back; there typically is no reason for this, you'll just restart that txn when the process is restarted; might as well let the current one finish. And "kill extract" (I believe) will not warn about potentially "long running transactions" that can cause (painful) issues at startup (missing old archive logs, etc). There are probably other examples, as well.
    So if this really is "routine", then "stop", don't "stop!" or "kill". If there are long delays, see why first & see if they can be addressed independently. (This really is just a stock answer for a generic question, it would be irresponsible for me to answer otherwise :-) )

  • What is best way to clean up startup disc?  What apps work?

    What is the best way to clean up my startup disc?  Are any of the clean up apps trustworthy?

    Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
    You should never, EVER let a computer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you are an iMovie/ Final Cut user, both apps have their own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
    http://www.omnigroup.com/more
    Also, Find Any File
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Moving iTunes library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Moving iPhoto library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
    Moving iMovie projects folder
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2289
    Things to consider before moving your iPhoto Library Folder to a new or external location like an external hard drive.
    If you make movies on any iDevices using iMovie for iOS,, then transfer the video footage, the IOS version of iMovie saves the footage as a movie file in IPhoto for IOS and will automatically get transferred to iPhoto for the Mac when you upload the video from your iDevice.
    Newer versions of iMovie will work and link those video files found in your iPhoto Library on your Mac, but those links can be lost if you move your iPhoto library and you will not be able to relink that video afterwards as the current versions of iMovie seem to not have a relink option for the video portion of the files (ironically, current versions of iMovie HAVE the ability to re-link the audio files from the video footage, though  (The inability to re-link the video files could be a possible bug or oversight in current versions iMovie).
    The lost video links show up as "blacked-out" video blocks with no content.
    Before moving the iPhoto Library
    If you make movies with iMovie using iPad or iPhone video then 'Consolidate' the files before you finish. This will gather (albeit by duplicating) all the relevant files in the project in one place. After consolidating/duplicating all of the audio and video footage to a seperate, independent location,it should be safe to move your iPhoto library.
    The potential way to circumvent this issues maybe to try and import  iPad and iPhoto video directly into iMovie which would be another solution.
    Good Luck!

    Go to Solution.

    Enter *#7370# followed by the security code which is 12345 by default. You must have a SIM inserted for this to work I believe (been a while).
    This will erase all data and restore settings to factory defaults.

  • What is the best way to clean a Macbook anti glare screen

    What is the best way to clean my Macbook Pro anti glare screen

    I have used WINDEX ELECTRONICS for about the past 6+ months:
    http://www.windex.com/en-US/Products/Pages/electronic-cleaner-and-wipes.aspx
    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.
