What is the best cleaner for the iPad Pro screen

When I was setting up my new iPad Pro several days ago, the Apple Store tech told me the best screen cleaner to use was Whoosh, but Apple stores didn't carry it. He said Best Buy had it along with many other Apple accessories. I went to Best Buy and the clerk told me they didn't carry it and she never had heard of it. I asked what they were recommending for the iPad Pro and she pointed to a shelf of products and said "you might try" one of those or, pointing to a different area of the store, said "you might try" something over there. Rather than "might try," is there an actual screen cleaner that is recommended for iPad Pros? Thanks.

iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 10.3.2, 12.9 inch

To clean your iPad screen,never use any type of cleaning solvent such as Windex or similar chemical products. Use only water.

Ideally,use water with a lint free scratch resistant cloth(microfiber) to clean your iPad screen by dampening the cloth slightly. Then clean the screen using soft, even strokes. The 3M Microfiber Cleaning Cloth is highly recommended.

I use water to clean my iPad Air display. If it doesn't come off easily, I use my camera lens cleaner + cleaning pad.

I was using iKlear on my iDevices, but switched two years ago to a product made by Bausch & Lomb called Clens I use with a Microfiber cloth.

I have had very good results using this.

You may have to purchase this online here.

Good Luck!

gentleone,

How to clean your Apple products - Apple Support defines appropriate cleaning techniques.

For the iPad, it states:

"Handle your iPad with care to maintain its appearance. If you're concerned about scratching or abrasion, you can use one of the many cases sold separately. To clean iPad, unplug all cables and turn off iPad (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the onscreen slider). Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide to clean iPad. iPad has an oleophobic coating on the screen; simply wipe iPad's screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and might scratch your screen."
