How do you clean your iPad screen?
« on: May 14, 2011, 03:52:53 pm »

Brand new to touch screen devices, how are people cleaning their iPad screens?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Damp J-cloth with a little soap, then a rinse wipe, followed by a dish towel to dry it off.

It's Corning Gorilla Glass, and very unlikely to scratch, so it doesn't need babying.

I usually only remember to clean the glass after I have cleaned my glasses  ::), so I use the lens cloth, which is still damp from the glasses/lens cleaning fluid. I've not had problems with a damp cloth either.

Rub it on my shirt or pant leg.

Honestly.  It doesn't scratch.

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions.  I've got a bunch of micro-fiber lens clothes and I'll use those with appropriate cleaning fluid.

ps: being a Yank, I had to Google "J cloth."  I actually use something similar to clean my NEC flat screen computer monitor.

I haven't found I need any cleaning fluid or soap, just a little water and a micro-fiber cloth works. Fingerprints are the bane of these devices, though, along with the awkwardness of cut and paste.

In addition to being extremely scratch resistant, the glass has a special "oliophobic" coating that makes wiping off fingerprints and other grease extremely easy.  No need for fluid or special tools.  IMHO even microfiber is optional.

I use a micro fiber screen cleaning cloth. No fluids necessary. It just works quickly and perfectly.

Microfiber cloth only. No fancy fluids!
