I'm scared to death of cleaning my screen!

I found this cleaner from a local staples store also I found that Compusa had it as well. It's called "Screen Cleaner" by Kensington and it seems to be working fine. I have used it a couple of times already and no problems. The only warning is to make sure computer is off when you clean.

IMac G5 1.9 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

iKlear is recommended by many (and mentions the iMac specifically, How that for piece of mind lol).

As long as you do not use anything with chemicals in it! The chemicals will eventually destroy the fragile TFT film.

Just use a microfibre cloth with literally a few drops of water on the cloth (just dampen one part of the cloth with about 5 - 10 drops of water). Then wipe the dampened part on the screen all over and buff up with the dry part of the microfibre cloth.

Using any chemical spray/wipes will cause damage - if you do buy a spray ensure that it states that it can be used for TFT monitors.

I need to reiterate what Kyomii says. Only use cleaner recommended for laptop/iMac type of screens, and use the cloth that is included. I too use the iKlear products on my computers and monitors, it also works great on my eyeglasses.

iKlear mentions iMac (All generations) but that has said that for 6 years now and I doubt its the iMac G5 it specificaly means.

Me? I only EVER use one of those blue Spontex-Microfibre cleaning cloths. Its dry, contains no liquid and cleans the dust from my screens and case of my iMac G5 perfectly. And it's only dust its cleaning too, I NEVER, EVER, EVER touch or let my screen be touched by fingers! So theres no oils to clean. Im not sure if the cloth would take off finger prints to be honest.

The manual for our iMac G5s says to only use a "damp" (only using water), dust free cloth. So using ANY of these iKlear type products is against Apple's own advice. So if you have fingerprint oils to get off use a damp cloth to answer the original question.

Apple suggests a soft lint-free cloth and to dampen it with water when really major cleaning is necessary.

I've found that the microfiber cloths they sell for cleaning camera lenses (the untreated kind) work very well.

you do realize a Power Mac G5 is NOT an iMac, right???

Yes I know, but the product is updated for the same type of screens.
