Anti Glare Screen: iKlear or Damp cloth

[Totty1987]

What's the best way to clean an anti-glare screen. I've had my machine since December and I'm starting to see smudges on the screen. I'd really appreciate if any advice.

Thank you

J/K....I see a lot of people recommend the iKlear. I too got mine in Dec. I just use a semi damp paper towel with a little windex on it. And I don't let anyone touch the screen. I hate it when people do that!

a damp cloth does it all the time for me.

just find a good microfibre cloth and your set. when using on an air and anti-glare mbp a good clothe will remove smudges from the screen and not leave streaks with liquids/iklear/damp cloths.

i dont personally recommend windex or things like that as im not sure if it will damage the lcd itself, but iklear if anything is good as a screen cleaner.

I second the microfiber. Damp cloth/ paper towel runs the risk of scratching, as water can be very abrasive (especially with all of the minerals in it). I use a microfiber cloth and LCD cleaning spray (like iKlear).

I also use a microfiber cloth that is moist

Microfiber can as well if not properly maintained. That said, I also suggest microfiber and water.

That is true of anything not maintained correctly, but new paper towels are abrasive by their very nature. Also water is not a good cleaner as like I said before it is very harsh. If I had to choose water, the only type would be treated RO/ distilled water (as hopefully most of the minerals have been removed). Never use DI water as that is just asking for trouble.

I usually use a slightly damp microfiber cloth to wipe away debris, and then finish up with a dry microfiber to clean away the streaks.

OmniCleanz from RadTech. You can purchase it bundled with a microfiber cloth.

Sometimes using your breath or water just doesn't do the job. OmniCleanz is non-conductible so it won't harm electronic gear. I use it to clean cameras, lenses, keyboards... everything.
