Alright what do you all use to clean your screen? I have a 15 inch mackbook pro with the non-glossy finish. I have some dust and a few water marks. What should I use?

i just was wondering the same thing, ill tell you what i did. i was browsing around in office depot around the notebook section, and i found 2- 4oz. bottles of their own brand screen cleaner for 6$. i just sprayed that on a microfiber towel and cleaned all surfaces of the brand new macbook i had just bought 2 weeks ago and am loving. screen looks great by the way.

i did not have the same problem. you ahve to only spray it on the cloth, and then wipe that on, then take the dry side and dry the book completely. you will feel when it starts to dry, the towel will run across the surface smoother.

If I'm not mistaken, Windex contains ammonia, which will eat away at the surface after a while. Not cool.

I clean my MacBook screen with a half and half mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water. Cleans wonderfully and leaves no streaks/residue.

Was just about to try Windex then thought better of it. I need to buy some of that isopropyl alcohol for the screen and the MM scrollball.
