In the previous version of this video, I sprayed screen cleaner directly on the screen. I've always done it this way and never experienced any issues, but as some of you noted, this is not recommended by Apple. As such, I've updated the video to show the correct method. Ignore the part at the end where I spray on the screen. Thank you for pointing this out.
I sprayed cleaner directly on the screen of my MacBook pro last year and had to buy a new screen because of the liquid damage, def good advice to spray the towel
Ordered the same products on Amazon and followed your instructions. After I finished cleaning my screen I checked it with a flashlight -> absolutely clean, no streaks, scratches etc. whatsoever. The screen looks brand new - thank you for this!!! 💯💯💯
@@robloxplexus7490 why use screen protector? Admire the original high quality display. Screen protector gives undesirable plastic looking display with glare
It's important to use as little force as possible. If you press down too hard you can cause micro abrasions in the screen and your screen will become dull overtime and you will never get that mirror reflection. Let the liquid and the microfiber do the work for you.
Oh man, this was perfect. I've had the air blower, Whoosh, and had some fine microfiber clothes, but thanks to this video I realized I needed a bigger cloth (not just the tiny ones that are included) as well a better cleaning method. Thanks for this. It worked like magic.
Hello CE, I've used this idea for years. The smudge marks maybe the natural oil deposits from your fingers tips on the key buttons. The oil dries and collects dust. When the screen cover closes and meets the key buttons this dirt transfers to the screen and on my MacBook leaves horizontal smudge marks on the screen which I notice the next day. Use a piece of 8 1/2" x 14" printer paper to shield the screen from the keys when you close the screen cover. You will need to trim this reusable paper to size to fit within your MacBook.
Yeah but take it from those who have made mistakes. If you don’t do it exactly like this, you will ruin your thousand or more dollars screen. The way they make them is waaay to sensitive. You can literally melt the top layer of the new screens off because of the anti reflective film they put on it if you use alcohol or certain soaps. Tap water has little shards and particles that scratch and streak your screen, and if you use tissues or paper towel, they literally are made from wood, and you will straight up scrape your screen. I mean it’s what you have to look at whenever you use a computer, and they are expensive machines. Don’t take the easy way out. Do this crazy process or you will regret it for real.
@@ghost-user559 That's so true! I have a screen cleaner but I don't think it's compatible with my MacBook. It works great of other products like my 4k tv and iPhone but when I applied it to my Macbook the product didn't seem to apply very well.
@@gustavorosas4065 Yeah be very careful! I ruined my iPhone screen with microfiber cloth and made scratches on my old display. Luckily I never used alcohol or cleaner because I had already heard and seen the horror stories from that, but rip iPhone screen. You can only use distilled water and be very careful. But I will say on the original iMac and MacBook from 2012 or earlier it was just glass, and you could use any glass cleaner, same with old tube TVs which were just a sheet of normal glass. These new ones have to be taken care of like crazy or they will fall apart after a single cleaning. Kind of crazy the fanciest most expensive stuff now falls apart the easiest.
Hey i cant thank you enough ! . I have a 2019 27" Imac 5k . Yesterday i cleaned it with the Provided Cloth and literally made my screen awful and purple . I thought i had absolutely destroyed it . I saw this video and The Thick Cloth really worked . Thanks Again . I subbed
I used to use microfiber cloths like this to clean all of my screens until I noticed that (at a very close glance) they were putting very small scratches on the screens. I now use a 100% cotton cloth/tshirt and it works much better.
@@cammie0105 It’s because once you use it even just one swipe it picks up tiny shards of dust and dirt and then it traps it in the fibers. Then you are basically rubbing your screen with sandpaper. So the microfiber only works for people who don’t ever let dust build up. Otherwise the second you wipe it, you are just rubbing microscopic dust against the glass.
I was struggling with the micro lens cloth leaving so much dry liquid marks behind. Windex and Costco microfiber worked perfectly with the wiping method. Thank you so much.
*An alternative is just a damp cloth, which is the safest and the easiest. Just don’t use a paper towel or a tissue which leaves dust behind and may scratch you screen. Just lightly damp a clean cloth and lightly clean your screen, then use the opposite side of the cloth if needed to dry off the screen. If their is streaks left, just try it again but clean the screen in a circle motion. If that leaves streaks too, don’t try again because it may lead to ruining the screen if you keep repeating. If streaks are still showing after this method get a normal screen cleaner like whoosh. Just don’t use glass cleaners which have alcohol and ammonia which may leave a stain on your laptop screen. I know all of this because I learned this the hard way. So use a damp cloth and if that doesn’t work get a normal screen cleaner like Whoosh.*
@@user_-vv6is glass cleaners like windex have alcohol in them which is bad for the screen. Because some screens have a coating, like an oleophobic coating that gets damaged from alcohol. And that would leave a stain on your screen.
@@user_-vv6is also it depends on what laptop your using, maybe some screens are fine if you use glass cleaners. Don’t worry though, if you used it once nothing would happen, if it was damaged it would be noticeable from a stain. So just don’t do it again, and don’t worry, your screen is fine if you haven’t noticed anything.
Best tip in addition to everything you said is DO NOT flip the microfiber. The streaks come from the oil on your hands when you hold the cloth. Just buy a multi pack of the cloths and use only one side of each for wiping with the water, and then another one (one side only) for drying. If you try flipping the cloth over like you would think would make sense, you are now actually causing streaks because you are rubbing the oils from your fingers all over the freshly cleaned screen.
Due to past experiences with retina displays I would highly recommend a screen protector for the screen once you buy it to avoid to damage the coat the screen has
Thanks for this. I am coming from an HP touchscreen Windows laptop to my first MacBook and I always keep touching the darn screen out of habit so this is very helpful. First cleaning content I saw and I have no reason to look at another. Will turn the screen off before I start tho. Thanks for sharing although I am sure this will get lost in the comments. lol Linking with you. I like your Mac content. Super helpful!
Like you, Ive had HP laptops before having just gotten myself a MacBook recently. Im used to touching the screen on my HP. However , it was easy to remove the smudges off it with just water and quick wipe down. Relatively with little effort. No special cleaner needed. I find it harder to clean off smudges on my new M1 MacBook. Have you had the same experience. Any input from a former HP laptop user would be appreciated. Thanks
What helps me is if you have little spect of stuff, like some sort of dried liquid or debrie or whatnot, I took the microfiber cloth that I clean my glasses with, and instead of adding water or anything, I literally just used by _breath._ Just VERY SLIGHT moister from fogging up a spot is enough to loosen up and pick up the speck for the cloth to get without rubbing any oils around. I don't know if I'd reccommend this, and I JUST bought a new laptop so it's very early on in the _still clean_ phase, but it works well as a preventative messure for the bigger streakier messes.

Spraying cleaning liquid on screen directly - Normal Cleaning Spraying cleaning liquid on the cloth instead - iCleaning (And it costs too $99) even if you're doing it by yourself.
Great tutorial! Does this still apply for the new macbook pros (14" & 16"). Apple's instructions are to clean only with water, but that doesn't work well. Thanks!
I have an iMac full of those annoying tiny drops and I can't seem to get rid of them. I don't have a specific display cleaner, could I use a glass cleaning tissue as well?
Hey, I used a Whoosh! product, but rather than the spray like in the video, I used their disposable wipes. But, even after cleaning the screen with the wipes and drying it with the included microfiber cloth, the screen has some ugly smudges, it's not as pristine as your screen looks. Why is that? Does the wipe version not work as well as the spray? I'd assume it would be the same?
Can you also do the cleaning tutorial for keyboard and the touchbar. My touchbar just oily on the right side area where I mostly swipe volume and brightness..
Don’t use that spray! It will melt off the top layer and ruin your screen eventually! Only use distilled water and never spray it on the screen, only on the cloth you use.
Went inverting the towel (I use the exact towel btw) it wasn’t picking up the water that well for some reason and it left fried water marks on the screen. So wheat I ended up doing is drying the screen with the same technique but with a 100% cotton shirt and it worked amazingly
Thank you. Microfiber towels release tiny microplastics into the wash water, which eventually flows to the ocean, which is full of microplastic and getting more and more so each day. Next time clean the keyboard, please.
Is it safe to do this cleaning on M1 pro 14” screen? I’ve heard report a screen containing deadpixel (i also got one) it seems like the quality of the display/screen has decreased for apple-silicon mac unit
@@asfanebi567 No. Use oil wipe. If you are worried about corrode coating, use distilled water. Unless your screen is super filthy, use alcohol, then use oil wipe.
I’ve heard that other people say you should always turn off the mac before cleaning the screen but I also do the same of only dimming the screens brightness. Should I be worried of any bad consequences or it’s just fine?
I have always used iKlear cleaner/polisher on my screens and have been very pleased with the results. Has anyone here used both iKear and Woosh? I have read some comments about how Woosh negatively affects the oleophobic coating on screens on the long term.
My new m1 MacBook is coming, do I need to sanitize it? I wonder if the production and software installation of the device involves human touching the device.

@@asfanebi567 No. Use oil wipe. If you are worried about corrode coating, use distilled water. Unless your screen is super filthy, use alcohol, then use oil wipe.
haha I was like ummm dude I see stuff EVERYWHERE you did NOT do a good job cleaning your screen and then I was like oH haha that's just myyyy screen 😂
Now we need a video about cleaning a laptop's keyboard / trackpad area...
Yes an “air blaster” - looks very similar to another item with a VERY different function 😂
Well, my screen is dirty, so I can't really see the clean screen of yours...
I hate that even when I don't touch my screen somehow the prints still transfer from the keys when the lid is closed 😤🤦
Certainly trying that tomorrow. Hate a dirty screen🤨
The key is to rub circular
thanks a lot
it helped me clean my Mac
I’ve heard that other people say you should always turn off the mac before cleaning the screen but I also do the same of only dimming the screens brightness. Should I be worried of any bad consequences or it’s just fine?
Don't forget to remove the tag to avoid micro scratch marks
Don't just any liquid on the screen, it can remove the oleophobic coating. Use plain water only
Im guessing your not a big fan of the whoosh product right?
water can ruin the coating
best tutorial
I have always used iKlear cleaner/polisher on my screens and have been very pleased with the results. Has anyone here used both iKear and Woosh? I have read some comments about how Woosh negatively affects the oleophobic coating on screens on the long term.
Do we need to wash the cleaning tissue? If yes, when and how do we need to wash it? Thanks.
Thank You my friend!
Very useful video.
My new m1 MacBook is coming, do I need to sanitize it? I wonder if the production and software installation of the device involves human touching the device.
Worked perfectly....thank you!
Been 2 years lets goooooo 😩
