Did screen cleaner mess up my screen?

[Eliichka]

So i used screen cleaner on the screen of my MB, and i guess some if it got under the screen, and now there's a big, weird, light spot on the downside in the center.

Here's a picture:

it already changed a bit. The spot got a different shape (bit smaller actually), but now there are all these lines there, and it looks like the color is darker or gone completely under them. Is there anything i can do? Did i mess up my screen? Also i was told to mention that i don't have applecare.

Indeed you did! There is no way around that in my experience.

I like to use acetone with a CD wipe but make sure that around the edges it is not getting anywhere. It evaporates super fast so I can make sure it's not getting anywhere it shouldn't.

you didn't really answer my question. will this dry out, or will it stay like that?

I figured

served as the answer.

It's stuck. I tried putting a machine I did that to in a small enclosed room with several powerful dehumidifers for a week, no dice. There's no way around it.

There's nothing you can do in my experience. Water spills to the LCD can dry out and can almost completely disappear over a period of time. Coffee, juice tea etc... spills to the LCD will likely remain forever to some degree.
The clearer the liquid the better your chance of a recovery.
Good luck!

If it's going to go away by itself, it will go away in well under 2 weeks.

If you want to fix it, you'd need a new display screen installed. Apple charges $601 for this repair; you can usually find an Apple Service shop in your area to do it for about half price.

How much screen cleaner and what brand screen cleaner did you use?

Cleaning Your MacBook Display
Follow these general rules when cleaning the screen.
Shut down your MacBook, detach the power adapter, and remove the battery.
Dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or paper with water only and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
