Screen cleaning solutions

[MacDaddyPanda]

So I recently saw Invisible Glass now has a purpose made screen cleaning product, called Screen Clean w/Hyrdogen Peroxide. I thought Hydrogen Peroxide is not something you'd want to spray or wipe onto a computer monitors. Can that damage coatings on these screens?

I also see Apple released a statement saying not to use products with Hydrogen Peroxide on their products(https://www.macrumors.com/2021/07/19/apple-warns-against-hydrogen-peroxide-cleaners/). So this seems extremely contradictory since the bottle claims to be safe on all screens.

Apple's employees are using Whoosh to clean their products in stores.

Microfiber cloths the best. Whoosh not so much.

I bought Woosh and it smeared like crazy. I have found a microfibre towel dampened with nothing but a little water does the best job.

I use two microfiber cloths and a tiny dab of standard dish soap. The first cloth I moisten just enough that it's damp but not so much that it's dripping and add a tiny bit of dish soap. Lightly wipe once, the soap will quickly break up any fingerprints or other residues, then rinse the rag, squeeze out as much water as I can and lightly wipe a second time to rinse. Then I take the second cloth to buff it dry. No streaks, perfect clean every time.

I use the same approach for the keyboard and body of my MBP, iPad and Magic Keyboard, and iPhone and the results are great. As long as you keep the rag damp but not dripping you'll be fine not having to worry about moisture.

Don't use chemicals. Water on microfiber. If anything a little itty bitty amount of dawn on a microfiber + wipe with water on a fresh one will keep it very nice.

A little vinegar also helps get grease off.

Here is another vote for a Microfiber towel and a little water.

"Pre-moistened" wipes always seem to dry out before I'm halfway thru the box. When I looked at these at amazoid I noticed a two-bottle spray of the same cleaner; that and a microfiber might be the way I go; thanks!

I didn't know they made a spray. Haven't had any problem with them drying out but may try the spray myself. It is a little cheaper than the 200 count wipes but I think the spray might last longer. Thanks for the info!

I use Whoosh. Works great and any smears are easily wiped away with a dry part of the included cloth.

I’d be careful with that product. Hydrogen peroxide can be pretty harsh and could damage the coating on your screen. I remember reading Apple’s warning about avoiding hydrogen peroxide on their devices, and it seems like a good idea to stick with cleaners that are specifically designed for screens. I use a microfiber cloth and a cleaner made for electronics to be safe.
