Cleaning Your iMac Screen

I have tried things that immediately came to mind, and nothing quite worked like this... So simple!


1. Take a fluffly washcloth (not a scratchy, worn out one), wet it with warm tap water, and ring it out.


2. Have handy a fluffly white cotton T-shirt (again, not an old, scratchy, worn out one), neatly folded with no seams or stitching on the wiping surface.


3. Wipe the screen with the damp washcloth in circular buffing motion.


4. Immediately dry off the screen with the smooth side of the folded cotton T-shirt.


Note: You will need to position your hand behind the screen in order to steady the monitor as you buff the front firmly.


Makes my screen look like brand new everytime!

Tried the Apple way several times, but always ended up with a smear or streaks. I guess everybody does not perceive things precisely the same way--including instructions. Sometimes a slight nuance in instruction can make all the difference. When I used the little cloth that came with my iMac, it was not as easy as the washcloth, which allowed me to more quickly wipe the entire screen because it was larger and had a bit more cleaning weight and traction. To each his own Klaus1.
