Keeping a Clean Screen:


A. Don't User a Screen Protector or Privacy Filter:

Applying this covering voids your AppleCare protection. Do not use it. Also, do not use a privacy filter, as it will overheat your Mac's screen, and will remove protection. Both are considered accidental damage, which is not covered by your protection. So, just let the screen be. That just the way it is :)


B. What I Used: I use the following, when debris and fingerprints from thescreen.
