Best way to clean the screen?

I can't fully clean my screen. It is always dirty with finger prints here and there. What is the BEST and SAFEST way?

Despite the cool features and operation of your MacBook Pro, it is indeed quite delicate. After eight months of ownership I have traveled to Europe twice and bounced around the airports here in the states quite often while using my Mac in every conceivable dirty location. I’ve only had to actually clean my machine twice in this period. I use a standard clean micro-fiber lens cleaning cloth with bottled water. It works. If you have accumulated any crud, then simply apply a small amount of plastic lens cleaner to the water dampened lens cloth and that will gently remove most any soil from the case. BTW: if haven’t already done so, consider a Marware case protector that will greatly reduce the accumulation of stains, scratches, etc from developing on the wrist area. I don’t think much of the overly thick keyboard cloth that’s included with it although the stick on pad works very well and adds a nice appearance to an already beautiful Mac.

Make sure you scrub really hard to get all the crud out.
Or you could follow Apples advise:

What's the best way to clean the screen on a MacBook?
Should I just turn it off and thoroughly wipe it down with the cloth that it came with? Or would something like a damp paper towel be better?

A slightly damp soft cotton or microfiber cloth might be better. Myself I spritz a microfiber cloth with Invisible Glass and then wipe the glass, kb, and case.

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 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.

What's the best way to clean the anti-glare display?

Use a damp lint-free cloth with light pressure. iKlear has products if you are worried about damaging the screen by using chemicals other than water. DON'T USE WINDEX! It contains ammonia which can damage the screen.

Best way to clean my screen...?

hey all
I have had my macbook since july, and i was wondering whats the best way to clean my screen?? This screen looks much more sensitive than my prior HP laptops, so i'm deathly afraid of leaving scratches...so i have just gone without touching it at all!! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi bejerble,
best way is not to touch the screen, and you can use compressed air in can to blow the dust away (do not spray to close).
if you really need to clean it off from smudge or finger print, you can use soft micro fiber fabric that slightly damped with water and wipe the screen without applying too much pressure.
IF the smudge or oily dirt won't go away that easily, I usually use water based glass cleaner and just spray lightly to the damp fabric (not directly to the screen), and wipe it couple more time.
Good Luck.

Best way to clean LCD screen w/o destroying it?

After several thousand sneezes, coughs and splashed coffee, my PowerBook's screen is looking rather gross -- lots of spots and smudges.
What's the safest way to clean the screen w/o risking scratches, abrasions, melting and shorting out the display? Thanks.

My method:
I use a large soft cloth, iClear screen cleaning fluid and a small medium-weave Microfibre towel.
Place the soft cloth (it should be larger than your PB) flat on a table.
Open the PB so the screen is at a right-angle to the keyboard area.
Lay the PB on its back (Apple logo on reverse of screen flat onto cloth).
Spray some iClear onto the Microfibre towel (insted of spraying directly onto screen). Don't soak it through, you don't need much.
Using horizontal strokes and light pressure, wipe screen from side to side with the Microfibre.
Repeat until marks are gone, and finally buff with a dry side of the Microfibre.
Done this for years, never scratched a screen, treat my Apple LCD the same way and am rather
particular about Car Detailing!
HTH.

Best way to clean the Retina screen from smudges?

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!

What is the best way to clean the exterior of the Macbook Pro

The exterior of the my MacBook Pro appears to be an aluminum or silver metal. What is the best way to clean this surface? It seems to become easily smudged.

it's not or silver metal it is aluminum. Follow the guidelines by Apple in the MacBook Pro Users Guide.pdf

Best way to clean laptop screen??

What is the best way to clean a laptop screen?

If you are only talking about fingerprints and dust, a microfiber cloth works great. Gets everything off without scratching.
If there are things on the screen that don't come off by wiping, do not use chemical or spray products as they can get into places they don't belong. A slightly damp cloth, very very slightly damp not wet, and wipe only on the screen surface, not along the edges where moisture can get inside.
But if you use any moisture you have to be really careful as electronics and liquids do not play well together.

What's the best way to clean the DVD player in a 2007 Macbook Pro?

Hello All.
Our older MacBook Pro from mid 2007 has not had its DVD Player cleaned.
Now our Redbook DVD'S are "skipping over damaged areas"
What's the best way to clean it?
Thanx for your advice.

take the files from the dvds and back them up as iso or just the files onto your computer. this way you wont have to rely on the optical drive.
the safest way is to take it into the apple store to clean,
but if there are danages on the DVD, you'll have to somewhere for them to buff it out. some gaming store will do this for you for a charge. You are better off taking the media off of the disks and saving them on your computer or usb stick, so on.
hope this helps ;-)

Way to clean the screen?

what's the best way to keep the glossy screen from accumulating too many fingerprints and blurry spots?

Well the best way is not to let people finger all over your screen. That's a huge pet peeve of mine. If I see anyone even get close I'll stop 'em.
But I've had my MacBook since the first week they were released and I noticed it was getting some lint on it and there was a few splotches. I just used those Endust Static Wipes For Electronics. I didn't apply too much pressure and went across the screen evenly.
It's easiest to shut down. The screen is dark and you can see if you leave any residue or swirls. They work pretty well. They're easy to find and they're not too expensive. I'm sure you'll get other ideas though.
