What can I use to clean display?

[iPodClassic1]

I have a 12'' RMB, never had issues with stains / oil etc. I am very OCD so my hands are usually clean, and when I'm out and about I use baby wipes to clean my hands and wait for them to dry before using my laptop.

After 1 year of using it, a really weird small yet annoying oily stain showed, and can't get it off.

I've always cleaned my display with dry glasses cloth and it worked very well, never had to use any other thing, but I think I see myself forced to use something? It's a really dumb and small stain, but it's quite annoying cos you can see it even with the screen displaying text etc.

I am torn between cleaning it or leaving it as is and not make it worse.

Thanks!

Only use a microfiber cloth slightly moist, that should work.

be careful and not buy and use any "special" screen cleaner, they all can damage your screen beyond repair,
even if some here will say I use this and that cleaning material or wipes, and have not seen any problems, just don't

I will see what I do and let you know.

I agree with using the microfibre cloth. Won't use anything else on my eyeglasses or a computer screen. Although YMMV, I also use a high-quality eyeglass solution to clean my screen. My glasses have a changing tint and anti-reflective coating it has never damaged them or my screen.

Unsurprisingly Apple has a support document on how to clean their products.

The instructions are no different than the written physical documentation that accompanied their products ten or twenty years ago.

I use Rogge and have for some time. I feel it does a good job at removing oils that can potentially harm an AR coating without harming the AR coating in and of itself. I've used it on staingate-prone MBPs for a very long time, on camera lenses with AR coatings (not sure how robust those coatings are?), and the delicate AR coating on my Breitling and Maui Jims, in conjunction with a ribbed cleaning cloth that is lint-free (and obviously, clean.) I often use these with and without the cleaner, and I store them in bags to avoid them from picking up any unnecessary foreign particles during storage.

Hey guys thanks everyone for your replies! actually after trying to wipe off that very strange stain again, it's just went away. I don't know what these screens are made of, but they're awesome, like nothing really wastes them.
