Screen Cleaner

So I just bought this screen cleaner from Walmart, "Onn Screen Cleaning Kit, Ammonia and Alcohol Free". I was wondering if it would be safe to use on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I just don't want to ruin my screen. Or if someone has a recommendation for an inexpensive screen cleaner let me know. Thanks!

"Use a cleaner intended for use with a screen or display. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen. It may drip inside the display and cause damage."

There is an issue of stains occurring on the screens of Retina displays:

My Retina Display has stain damage, HELP!!!

and others. My feeling is that it's caused by outgassing, oils or acids.

I have used Windex Electronics Cleaner in my MBPs for at least the past six months+ with excellent results. The displays look like the day the unit came out of the box. I use a small microfiber cloth dampened with the product to wipe onto the display and a large cloth to wipe off the residue.

DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH ORDINARY WINDEX GLASS CLEANER.


Ciao.
