My MacBook screen is covered with stains or streaks (when it turned off and supposed to be black). It might be caused by silicone keypad and by my cleaning the screen with a damp cloth. The question is what to do? Can it be fixed?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2
Hi there!
I'd recommend you explore the MacBook cleaning recommendations in How to clean your Apple products - Apple Support:
When cleaning the outside of your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down your computer and unplug the power adapter. Then use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer's exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Don't spray liquid directly on the computer. Don't use aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide that might damage the finish.
To clean the screen on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down the computer and unplug the power adapter. Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with water only, then use it to clean the computer's screen.
To clean hard-to-remove smudges or fingerprints on the display or exterior of your Mac, you can use a cloth moistened with a 70-percent isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution to gently wipe the display or enclosure of your Mac laptop.
