With that being said, let's move on to cleaning the MacBook screen. As per Apple's instructions, the first thing you need to do is make sure the MacBook is turned off and unplugged from the charging cable. Then dampen a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Wipe the screen with the cloth until it looks good, and voila! While the process itself is pretty straightforward, there are a few things to consider before cleaning. Above all, only use water to dampen the cloth. Do not use glass cleaners, aerosols, acetone, or other cleaning solutions. Also, do not use a spray bottle to spray water directly on the screen. As Apple points out, this can potentially cause water to seep behind the screen and damage internal components.
