How do I get grease off iPad screen?

I had my iPad in the kitchen while I was cooking and there was a lot of grease in the air even with the vent on and now my screen is very oily. I've gone over it several times with a dry microcloth and also with a slightly damp cotton cloth followed by the microcloth. Still oily. What else can I do?

iPad 2, iOS 9.1

Take your microfiber cloth and soak it in warm to hot water with a good quality dish soap, then wring out the cloth leaving some soapy-ness and a little bit water left in the cloth and go over the screen again.

Be careful not to get any water near the Home button.

Then try using another dry microfiber cloth and wipe the screen dry.

Repeat if there is still some greasy residue still on the screen.


Good Luck to You!
