Using a damp paper towel to clean the exterior: Bad?

 

As stated above, a damp lint free cloth with water only is your best friend

Rarely, if ever, is there a need for anything more

 

is it OK to use this on a rMBP screen?

 

I've never used anything but water on any Mac screen, so I can't vouch for or recommend anything else.

 

OK, fair enough.

 

Same here
That goes for my iPad and iPhone as well

 

I get a soft cloth damp by wetting my hand then patting some of the water from my hand to the cloth. That allows me to control the amount of "damp" on the cloth.

 

Most companies recomend dry cloth, but that doesnt clean anything. Its totally OK to use a modestly wet cloth to clean any eletronics. Done that for 20 years, never a problem, it takes all dust away, you can use on exterior case, screen and keyboard. But aftwerwards, do remember to dry the computer with a second totally dry piece of cloth!

 

I use iClean

 

No, as stated by Apple and others, water is fine.

Any soft cloth would be fine.
