What do you clean your laptops with screens/base/keyboard? I asked the broad that sold me my new aluminum macbook, she wasn’t very helpful though and just told me not to spray anything into it. (DUH) I used iklear to clean my old ibook that had an LCD screen, but this new MB has a glass screen. Can I use the same stuff? Is there anything better to use? School me. ---

windex has ammonia in it, not good for painted surfaces or LCD’s. Just use a microfiber towel that is slightly damp with a little tap water. ---

windex = VERY Bad. don’t use it on any computer monitor, even CRTS, as most of them have an anti-glare coating which is easily scratched / disolved. Laugh as you may about iKlear but it works quit well and is cheaper than many of the hyped-up LCD products (Monster Cable’s for example). Since in often also includes several travel wipes and a couple microfiber clothes I think its a decent deal for as infrequently as I use it / how long a bottle lasts. With a 30" monitor and a laptop I’m always cleaning my shit, I’m SO super anal about my LCDs it isn’t even funny (side note I love the new glass screen cover on the MacBook Pros as it makes it so much easier to clean them even if it shows every tiny spec of dust / smudge). Oh, and FUCKING CLIENTS STOP TRYING TO TOUCH MY SCREEN I’LL FUCKING AXE YOU ---

I use a damp microfiber cloth on the gloss Mac screens and use rubbing alcohol on the keyboards and iMac and Mac laptop bodies. I don’t bother cleaning the Dell or HP towers 😛 ---
