Q: Cleaning the Screen

Hi,

I just wanted to know if there are any products (apple related products) or others that I can use to clean the screen of my Macbook pro, I am scared to use windex or another cleaner bc it might damage the screen or the labtop. So are there any other solutions or cleaners that would be good on the mac? My biggest fear would be damaging the screen by using something to strong. But it has to be strong enough to get the marks or stains off the screen.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Why not Windex? The cover over the LED screen is Glass. Windex is made for cleaning Glass. Is the Glass Apple uses so weak that simple Windex would damage it.
If Windex damaged Glass it wouldn't be around anymore.

Because Apple specifically says not to. "Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the display."

I use iKlear and it works just fine. I purchased it at the local Apple store a while back, but I don't think Apple carries it any more. You can find it on the Internet.

Ciao.
