Used window cleaner to clean my MBP screen, will it be okay?

Hi there,


I used Mr Muscle Glass and Window to clean my MacBook Pro screen, as I assumed that it would be fine given it was glass. I looked on google after and obviously have since found that was a very bad idea given some of the chemicals in, so within 10 minutes of the chemicals being on/wiped off the screen I've now cleaned it 3 times with water to try and get rid of any remaining residue. As far as I can see, the screen looks perfectly fine and in fairness to old Mr Muscle, it's pretty clean, however as I am panicking a bit reading forums so I had a few questions;


1. Will the residue left after 3 wipes with a damp cloth still cause damage? Do I need to keep wiping with water?

2. Would I be able to notice the damage by now, or could it become apparent later in time? (EG is it a slow eroding chemical?)

3. What should I be looking out for in terms of damage, what will the damage look like?

3. Is there any other method I could use to ensure that all the residue has been removed?


The screen looks perfect at the moment so I'm hoping I've got away with it this time, I covered the rest of the MBP with a laminated sheet so there's no chance any of it reached the keyboard or plastic at the bottom of the screen, but any help would be massively appreciated. Sorry to sound like an idiot...

MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), iOS 11.0.1, null
