Screen cleaning?

[bloodhunter]

What sort of spray on and wipe off cleaner is best for cleaning smudges and general grime off the screens of my iMac iPad and iPhone.

Thanks in advance.

I use Whoosh. Apparently it’s what they use in the Apple Store. I find it excellent.

Yeah whoosh is great, get that.

A slightly damp microfibre cloth does it for me.

Another whoosh user here. Use that and their clothes. Works well on the MacBook screens

 

[Bluecube]

Microfibre cloth and a spot of distilled water works just fine

Microfiber cloth and car windscreen cleaner.

The distilled water type or the nasty chemical filled monitor screen destroyer type?

Bought some of this after seeing your post, its very good cheers.

They don't use Whoosh anymore because it destroys the coating on the screen.

They don't use Whoosh anymore because it destroys the coating on the screen.

Is that due to more devices having nano-texture displays or does it affect the standard screen coatings too?

I have used Whoosh or distilled/deionised water in the past, but it's probably worth sticking to Apple's recommendations if the coatings get damaged.

It started with the coating they used on the Retina MacBook Pro, so it's been almost fifteen years now. I think it took them quite a few years to remove it completely from stores but they've not used it in at least five years.

Would this work for other products like android phones and tablets

I use distilled water in a microfibre cloth but it’s not easy. I guess I’m googling “whoosh” next up!

 

[Wrightyuk]

Yeah I looked into which will invest when my distilled water runs out

I wouldn't.

This is all you need. Nothing more, no chemicals. All you should be doing is removing dust anyway, really.

Why wouldn't you

 

[Feek]

Why wouldn't you

Would you use something that Apple themselves have stopped using because it damages the screen coating?

 

[Wrightyuk]

Didn't know they had lol hense why asking why
