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.

  • 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.

  • Best way to clean screen of new imac?

    i got my new mac a few months back and i remember asking at the store what the best way to clean the screen was and was told that the new screens where a special glass that required a special cleaning product, and of course i didn't write it down. i just want to make sure i don't scratch my beautiful new screen...and if i can do it with a fairly affordable product that would be even better.
    thanks in advance,

    I think there is iKlear, but I never tried it, it's pretty expensive.
    Apple themselves say you should use their cloth with a little(!) water (see imac manual).
    I just use the dry apple cloth and from time to time I use a little glass cleaner and a soft cloth. works well for me, others say that alot of glass cleaners are not good for the display, I can't say that's true

  • Best Way To Clean Screen on S10?

    Bought this machine used. Great condition, but the screen looks like it has streaks from the guy cleaning it. What is the best way to get rid of the streaks and clean the screen?
    Thanks.

    Hi, i prefer a micro fibre blanket... clean without to much pressure...
    watch out , always get out battery and powersupply before cleaning ..
    for more harder fingertips & spray some window cleansing (with isobuthanol) on the blanket .. never use direct...
    same for case and keyboard...

    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 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.
    Ciao.

  • 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.

    The new retina screen is wonderful, but I got finger prints on the sides and top, just from opening and closing it. It happens even when I'm finicky. Any trick to that? But more importantly: what's the best way to clean it again. Thanks for any info!

  • Best way to clean an LCD screen

    I would like to know the best way to clean the LCD display for my macbook.

    Apple has a Knowledge Base Article with their own suggestions:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60446
    They also suggest a "damp" (water only) cloth. Apple includes a very nice microfiber cloth with all of their LCD displays. Why they don't include the same cloth with the computers that have built-in LCD screens, I have no idea. It would be nice if their own cloth was available as a retail product too.

  • Best way to clean imac screen...

    Hi...
    wondering the best way to clean the imac screen - first time i have had a lcd screen
    thanks

    Nick,
    The user guide recommends that one dampen a lint free cloth with water and use it to clean the screen. There are a few commercial products that work well, including Monster iClean and iKlear. Be sure to avoid any product with alcohol or ammonia. Also, whether you use water or a cleaning product, spray the cloth, not the screen directly.
