Oled screen cleaning

Turns out what i've actually been using is "Fellowes screen protector spray" which works surprisingly well. I didn't even realise it was screen cleaner as i had been using it on my glasses originally. Does a fantastic job on my monitor though!

I ended up buying these just to see how they'd perform + I can use them for my glasses.
Not damp enough wipes to use in tandem with a microfibre cloth fast enough without streaking on my two QD-OLED Displays but great for lenses.
Isopropyl 70% on a cotton bud on affected area + quick wipe with microfibre cloth has served me well with no streaks left, I will look into the screen cleaner products mentioned as an easier solution is always welcomed.
Just my experience anyway.
It was only months later after using my 32" QD OLED monitor, that I noticed that the screen was filled with what sort of looked like grease stain from the kitchen. The filth was suspiciously uniformly distributed around the entire surface, everywhere the same sized dots.
However, as nothing else is covered in grease around on the desk, I simply concluded that the filth must have been some residue from the thin film I removed from the screen on day 1.
I have stopped eating certain foods in front on the monitor, because I would like to not have to clean this repeatedly, like with my old 27" IPS monitor.
I still am unsure if repeated cleaning with the recommended cleaning solution (Gigabyte's website) will damage the panel surface or not. They have a list of do and don't, but even though they mention a mix of distilled water and ethanol, they NEVER mention isopropyl alcohol, which imo is weird, if it might be important.
My covid surface cleaning bottle, only says 85% Alcohols, not a word if it is ethanol or something else. So I mixed distilled water with this stuff, at least used once, but I can try simply use water and a clean microfiber cloth the next time, to see if that is good enough.

The Zeiss wipes are good. But they have a few limitations.
1. They get very dry quickly. You maybe get 30 seconds of use out of them before you are basically like dry paper.
2. If you keep using them when dry they tend to flake.

They are designed for lenses, which is a much smaller surface area. So you will need a couple for a monitor.
If you ever buy one second hand - you will notice that the majority of them are not looked after and theres microscratches all over them. Seems some people scratch them and send them back swapping them out with newer ones.
I've stuck to plain water and a microfibre, until my son thought this was a good idea...
Tried the water thing but that just made more of a smeary mess, so I busted out the Method glass cleaner, took a deep breath and went for it.
It worked perfectly with zero side effects. I used it sparingly and sprayed the microfibre cloth, not the screen.

You shouldn't use glass cleaner like windex
I know, hence
but it wasn't cutting it (literally) in this case. It's not something I'm going to do all the time but good to know it doesn't immediately destroy the screen when needs must.
