Will this cloth work fine?

[seanuhthin]

I bought a cloth by monster or something like that, a company that makes the monster tv cloths. Wanted to use it to wipe down new iMac every once and a while, but it feels much rougher than most I have owned. Does anyone know?

I mean- if it feels rough, I can't say I'd personally recommend it- the only thing you should check with yourself is that it wont scratch the screen.

why not the one that came with it?

iMac screen is just glass. You can clean it with any smooth cloth you want - it is much less picky then a usual LCD screen. I recommend a slightly (but just slightly!) moist eyeglasses cloth — don't use chemical cleaners.

The glass panel on the imacs won't scratch from cloths. However, if it feels a bit rough, I would not recommend it on the anodized aluminum finish-- it could wear the finish over time.

Your iMac screen is made of glass. You would be hard-pressed to scratch it unless you used sandpaper. Clean away with any towel and you'll be absolutely fine...

Use only the little black cloth that came with it. My 2 cents.

I use slightly damp microfiber cloths to clean all my electronics including LCD panels

in the box with the keyboard and the rest of the stuff.

wow, well I am obviously the dumbest person on this board. That included cloth worked fantastic just now, gripped dust of easily. So you all say just like glass?

I also need to teach my cat to stop jumping on my desk and doing that thing where they rapidly wipe their paws on the screen. I have kept the door to my room with my imac shut until I find a solution...
