Cleaning Macbook

[Zelnaga]

Hi All,

What do you use to clean all the smudge and grim off your new macbook screen? Not sure which cleaning products to use, and dont want to use excessive force to clean it as the screen is thin.

What products do you all use?

 

[thats all folks]

this has worked well for me.

for the machine itself, a different microfiber cloth and 70% rubbing alcohol. those cloths can be washed and reused but I find for screen cleaning, a washed cloth never works as well so after it's cleaned a screen several times, it get's demoted to other tasks.

I use the stuff I use to clean my eyeglasses and the cloth too. Spray it on the cloth and with almost no pressure on the screen, drag the cloth across. I find blowing gently on the screen helps the liquid evaporate faster and reduces the smudge lines.

These: http://www.frys.com/product/6683994?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

and distilled water

Dry ones to clean the screen or general wipe downs, and a dab of distilled water - screen looks brand new, same with the keys. I would never go back to iklear or gimmicky stuff like that, I'd avoid eyeglass cleaner unless it's distilled water/isopropyl

Eyeglass cleaner is usually distilled water and isopropyl alcohol.

I would think eyeglass cleaner is better than anything because eyeglasses lenses are normally made from plastic and have coatings applied to them (anti-glare, UV, etc). These are probably even softer than than Mac displays.

I'll bet the stuff you buy at Best Buy, etc is the same as eyeglass cleaner solutions.

This always did the job for me. It cleans the aluminum really nicely. Thankfully I have a huge bottle of the stuff as I clean my glasses a few times a day.

Lightly water damped micro. It's a losing battle guys.

[where is it]

I've always used Dettol Cleanser spray. Used it on all my macs for 10 years or more.

Mist onto a clean microfibre cloth and carefully wipe over. Returns your mac to new.

95% de-ionised water made using nuclear grade carbon resin. 2.5% IPA, 2.5% EB Glycol Ether. Spray directly on device with a fine misting bottle then wipe. It's amazing.
