How do I get rid of this? I've tried cleaning my screen and so on. Nothing seems to work?

DO NOT clean this anymore. It's the antireflective coating peeling off. You're only making it worse by trying to clean it.
There's no way of fixing this. Is that a new-ish machine?

Installing a clear cover over screen damage is hardly "hiding" that damage.
This looks like the common screen de-lamination, along with a bit of other damage from the keycap edges.
Apple has had a service program that replaces screens with that issue. I don't know if it is still active or not.
If you can get to an Apple store, that would be a good place to check.

(I place a sheet of printer paper on the keyboard when I close the lid, which I think helps prevent the keycaps from contributing to that.)
Your MacBook Pro, less than 1 year old, certainly is in warranty. Another good reason to have a "genius" take a look..
Sometimes you get good news with a free repair.

alright. thanks for taking the time to help me 🙂
 
Apple knows about this issue it used to be more widespread a few years ago, they even had repair programs for certain models. I'm quite sure they'd fix it even a few months out of warranty, but why take the chance.
