How to clean your MacBook screen in different ways?

MacBooks are beautiful devices, and since you paid a lot for them, you’ll want to keep them clean. This is especially true in the case of the display. Apple’s retina displays are stunning, and the mini-LED displays on the new MacBook Pros are stunning.

That is why it is critical to clean them on a regular basis. But how should you approach it? Here are three methods for cleaning a MacBook screen without harming it.

How not to clean your screen?

Before we get into how to clean a MacBook screen properly, let’s go over what you shouldn’t do. To begin, you should avoid anything too abrasive. This includes scouring pads, but also anything made of paper fibers, such as paper towels or toilet tissue. Any of these could scratch your screen and cause permanent damage.

You should also avoid using too much cleaning fluid and not spray anything directly onto the screen. Finally, make certain that nothing enters the ports.

With that out of the way, here are three methods for cleaning the screen of your MacBook.

Using a simple microfiber cloth

This is the most common way to clean a laptop screen because it is simple and inexpensive. It’s inexpensive and effective. However, before you begin, make sure to turn off the MacBook.

Next, polish the screen with a microfiber or lint-free cloth by moving your hand in circular motions to pick up dirt and dust. Wiping can damage the display’s outer coating and cause scratches.

Once all of the dirt has been removed, dampen a cloth in distilled or de-ionized water and gently buff out any remaining dirt. Use circular motions once more, and make sure the cloth isn’t too wet.

After wiping down the screen, take another smooth cloth and dry it.

After completing these three steps, you should have a much cleaner screen that is free of any dirt or build-up.

Using a cleaning spray:

If you want to clean your MacBook screen in one step, you can always get a special spray designed for LCD screens.

Simply spritz the screen with the spray and polish it with a microfiber or lint-free cloth. If your screen is dirty, it may take several passes to clean everything, but there is no need to switch between wet and dry cloths — it will dry without streaks on its own. It’s quite simple.

Again, make sure not to spray directly on the screen and avoid oversaturating the cloth.

Using Apple’s own microfiber cloth:

If you want to go the official route, Apple has its own exorbitantly priced “polishing cloth.” The cloth is a microfiber cloth that costs $20. It’s also extremely popular because, after spending thousands of dollars on a MacBook, why not have a branded cleaning cloth to go with it?

Apple recommends cleaning their screens with a non-abrasive and soft cloth, which is exactly what this is. If you love Apple, this is the only way to clean your screen.
