Cleaning the screen

[gurvy]

Does anyone know if we can use any solutions to clean the screen. The Apple store is seeling a small spray bottle the looks a lot like what I use to clean my TV LCD screen. I remember reading that we should not be using any solutions. The cloth that they gave is just not doing a good job.

Any thoughts?

I'm using microfiber cloths I bought at a local automotive store (usually Kmart or Walmart has them too). When I bought an Apple Cinema it came with a free microfiber cloth that was REAL nice, and I keep that in my car now also. No solution needed... just a quick buff with a microfiber cloth does the trick

The problem with the one included is it is too small. You just need a bigger, thicker one.

I use a product called Plexus, you can purchase it in little spray bottles
(.42 oz.), works great, actually repels fingerprints. Here's the link:

PS I know it says plastic cleaner on it, but it can be used for all computer type surfaces, monitors, LCD's, etc.

I turn it off completely. Put the cloth on about 1/3 of the screen PRESS down and slide up, move over 1/3 repeat, and once again repeat.

I used some screen cleaner from Monster. It's meant for LCD TV'sa nd monitors but works well on the iPhone. Just spray a bit onto a microfiber cloth and wipe it a couple of times. Make sure that you do not spray it on the iPhone directly.

Considering it's optical grade glass, windex works great.

When I put it in my pocket the pocket material ends up taking off all of the finger prints, so i basically never clean the screen. If i were to though, then i just use the cloth it comes with.

I just use my T-shirt!

MF cloth from my Oakley shades or soft cloth that came with my Rolex.

What is the best way to clean your screen without using the soft cloth that was provided?

I find taking a little paper towel and folding it into a small square and putting a little bit of window cleaner on it like windex..not too much lol don't wana ruin the phone just engough. This cleans the screen up and makes it look and feel like it just came right out of the box.

 

[spud2007]

I read that cleaning solution was bad but, didn't know why?

 

[cdoyle]

lol, well ive been using it for the past 2 weeks and it seems fine, doesn't seem to do anything bad to it? do you know where you head that?

I use a microfiber cloth & it gets everything off the screen easily.

 

[spud2007]

iPhone user guide/manual page 108, yes i agree i thought a nice microfiber cloth would do well.

I use the little square wipe that came with my RAZR sometimes, but mostly use the microfiber Oakley bag that came with my sunglasses when I'm in the car.

haha thats exactly how I am. The oakley bag. I cant ever seem to get my screen grease, streak free though.

I use the Oakley cleaning solution. Spray a little on, rub it around then use a microfiber cloth. Gets everything off of the screen!
