Hi team, 

I'm looking to clean all the dust and finger prints off our TV and laptop screens. 

 

From research, Apple uses a product called Whoosh!

Any suggestions?

I use Woosh! Bought it from Amazon US years ago, works fine. It's nothing special, but it's fine.

My screen came with a cloth made out of a semi-shiny material (I don't know what it is). Most of the time, it's good enough. Sometimes a little tap water is also needed to get the job done.

 

I've had this screen for ~2.5 years and it still looks like it's new.

A credit card. When they get dirty I buy a new one.

Micro fibre cloth dampened by water, clean the grime off with that, buff out with the other side of the cloth.  No-one needs anything more than that.

I +1 this comment and also feel the need to quote it!

 

A microfibre cloth is normally good enough to remove average oily fingerprints. Adding a little water helps with harder to remove spots.

This but Isopropyl alcohol not water for me.  Dont need a lot at a time at all. Cuts through the fingerprints and grime really well. And wont ruin any electronics should it happen to get to where it should not.

Spray and wipe glass cleaner and a handy towel.

I think it's important to point out though that Isopropyl alcohol is not suitable for all screen types as some coating layers may be damaged.

Reminds me of a customer many years ago that had constant touch issues with their screens.  House keeping was using Jiff to clean the fingerprints.  Works well as mild abrasive

I've found this stuff really good, in conjunction with a lint free microfiber cloth. ASCS250

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is probably the same stuff of near enough.
