Cleaning screen question

[AQ_OC]

I figure if people can't figure out what "slightly damp" means when it comes to electronics, they've got bigger probs than cleaning an iPad screen. But if I were in doubt, I would use no liquid at all. To me, that would be common sense. But again, if people can't figure that out, they've got bigger probs.

By the way, I've use a slightly damp eyeglass cloth for two years on all three iPads that I've owned (one gifted away), and my husband's. No prob. Just a bit of water. That's what I've done with electronics screens for decades.

It's fine for you to figure that, but it's not so fine for Apple to recommend that, because there are some people who really don't get electricity. I don't use any water on my at all and that's fine too.

It appears to be fine for Apple, because they've recommended it for years. If not, some doofus and his ambulance-chasing lawyer would take a crack.

Use whatever works for you.

True, but it could be the doofus squad just hasn't thought of it yet.

The ambulance chasers are quite good at "wising up" the doofuses, unfortunately.

Use a pair of clean white mens cotton underware. It works wonders for smudges, etc, just blow your breath are troublesome spots and wipe.

Boxers or briefs?

My glasses are a lot cleaner since I got my iPad
They share the same cloth.

I use the Swipe Sidekick from Lenspen. Works like magic. No liquids.

Do you remove the contents first?

I use Comet and Brillo. This saves money, 'cause now I don't need an anti-glare screen protector.

Damp cloth for me also, use it on both my 3d pc monitors, laptops and led tv, have done for years, nothing comes close tbh.

Damp cloth, or you can ruin the display. KISS keep it simple sir

Blast! If it's not one thing it's another. I tried to follow these instructions but when I did find some clean ones they where not white. And not sure if they were cotton. But the worst part was, even though they had no troublesome spots I just kept blowing my breath onto them as hard as I could but their cleaning ability when applied to the screen was mediocre at best. Oh well! Maybe if they were not men's. ... Never mind.
