What is the best way to clean the display on an rMBP and Thunderbolt display?

Can I use a damp cloth to clean my display on an rMBP and a Thunderbolt display, or should it be a dry soft cloth?  My displays are in desparate need of cleaning.

This is what I now use:
http://www.officeworld.com/Worlds-Biggest-Selection/DRACB702288/13Q1/?gclid=COjp r8rOj7kCFVNo7Aode3EAxg
I discovered it in the supermarket.  I dampen a small microfiber cloth (6x6) with the Windex and wipe the display.  Then I use a large microfiber cloth (12x15) to dry it.  Excellent results.
NOTE THIS IS NOT THE CONVETIONAL WINDEX CLEANER.
Ciao.

  • 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 ;-)

  • 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.

  • 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.
    This page has some helpful tips for cleaning Apple products, including the iPad Smart Cover:

    I have tried the included cloth but that is not working very well - & I don't want to use something that will cause streaks. Any suggestions?

    Use a lightly damp clothe with water only and clean your screen.

    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.

    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.

    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 :-) )
