Hi all,

I have got a 24" iMac but the guy I bought it off had previously taken the glass off the screen to upgrade the hard drive. The result is the inside of the glass has fingerprints on it.

I have tried using wet wipes but haven't found them very effective so just wondering what the best way to clean the glass is.

Thanks
 
Apple gives instructions on how to clean your Mac in the User Guides for the MBA, MBP and iMac:
Cleaning your Mac When cleaning the outside of your Mac and its components, first shut down your Mac, and then unplug the power adapter. Then use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the Mac exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do not spray liquid directly on the computer. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish.

Cleaning the Mac screen To clean your Mac screen, first shut down your Mac and unplug the power adapter. Then use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.

I sprayed milk all across my 27" iMac (while it was on) once when I was drinking the remaining milk from a cereal bowl and coughed at the same time. My cat got hit too! :D

Edit: I had to clean the iMac myself, but at least my cat is a self-cleaning unit!
