Q: How do you clean your macbook pro screen?

Quoting from below linked article

Portables

MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air

First shut down your computer and unplug the power adapter when cleaning the outside or screen of your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air. Then use a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do not spray liquid directly on the computer. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish.

many a person has damaged their notebooks by using a wet towel etc. on the monitor.

DAMP: The cotton cloth shouldnt be used unless you can wring it very tight in your hands over a sink and not a drop comes out.

From much past experience,... it seems people have a 100 different definitions of "DAMP"

Tip, only damp wipe the 95% center,...use a dry swab or Qtip on the inner edges and corners.

For some reason countless people have a very bad habit of touching computer screens.

I forward there is never a reason to touch the screen unless it has to be cleaned from touching the screen (mobius loop)

I use Windex Electronics Cleaner.  Non residue.  I apply it with a small micofiber cloth which I have dampened with the Windex.  Then I use a large (15" x 15") microfiber cloth to wipe the display dry.  The display looks like the day it came out of the box.

I found it in the local supermarket.

NOTE:  THIS IS NOT THE REGULAR HOUSEHOLD WINDEX.

Ciao.

Using liquid on the screen sounds a little dangerous to me.... I have a microfiber cleaning cloth that works extremely well!  I got it from LYNKtec.com.  It has one side that you use for rubbing fingerprints away, and the other side for shining the screen.  It works so well.  I'd definitely recommend it!  It comes in lots of fun designs, too.  Mine is "Think Outside the Box".

I would recommend using isopropyl alcohol (i.e. rubbing alcohol). Simply dampen a spot on a cotton rag with some rubbing alcohol and gently wipe the trouble spots.

Fingerprints are the result organic residues from our skin. Organic residues can only be dissolved by solvents (hence the definition of a solvent). The trick is to dissolve the fingerprints without dissolving the plastics that constitute the laptop. Isopropyl alcohol is weak enough to avoid damaging the plastics, but strong enough to remove the fingerprints with wiping. I would avoid using acetone or methanol, as these can dissolve the polymers that constitute plastics.

Let me provide you with the best solution to clean your mac.

1: Wipe the screen with a dry clean wiper mildly to get rid of dusts.

2: Wipe the screen with lens cleaning wipes usually a moisture wipe with alcohol to eliminate finger prints.

Dang Congratulations you got a shining screen.
