Built-in Liquid Retina XDR Display Cleaning Instructions

Just purchased my MacBook Pro 16" 2021 with Built-in Liquid Retina XDR Display. I've tried to find instructions on how to clean it to no avail. "If you have a nano-texture glass...." or "if you have a standard glass..." Go back to try to find "how do I know if I have a nano-texture glass or standard glass?" Nothing out there to guide me! Not even in apple.com, or my system specifications. Is it all the same or different? Why not specify or keep the same consisten jargon so communication happens as it should be.


Anyway, how do I clean my Built-in Liquid Retina XDR Display?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.1

Hello... I have a 2021 MacBook Pro 16" also. You have probably resolved this by now but for anyone else we have the Liquid Retina XDR Display. It does not have nano-texture glass. Nano-texture glass is an optional upgrade for the Studio Display (+ $300 US) and the Pro Display XDR (+1,000 US). Displays - Apple Not sure what other products may offer it but it's not an option for the current MacBooks.


Here's a link that I found on cleaning: Clean your Mac computer’s screen or display - Apple Support.


Clean your computer’s screen

1.   Shut down your Mac and disconnect its power cord and any connected devices.

2.   Dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cloth with water, then wipe the screen.



Clean your Mac computer’s screen or display

Use the instructions below to clean the screen of your Mac notebook computer or desktop Mac, or to clean your Apple-manufactured display.

Important: Don’t clean the screen with a cleaner containing acetone. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide to clean the screen.

WARNING: Never spray cleaner directly on the screen. It may drip inside the display and cause damage.
