USE DISTILLED WATER

 

Spray the cloth with distilled water. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen. It may drip inside the display and cause damage.A submerge your Apple product into cleaning agents or water. Keep it on the cloth. Do not soak the cloth! Make sure it is only slightly damp.

 

 

WIPE DOWN THE SCREEN 

 

Take your water-dampened cloth and wipe down the same area. Wipe the screen from side to side and top to bottom, working in small circular buffing motions. 

 

Apply steady yet slight pressure as you work, but do not use excessive force. Hold the computer by the upper edge or by the keyboard to prevent yourself from accidentally re-smudging the screen.
