In fact, Apple has a tutorial for this, and it's pretty easy to follow. You generally don't want to use household cleaners because the Macbook isn't designed to work with such cleaners. It's much easier, but it can also take a bit of effort. This is the Apple approved way to clean your Macbook.

  • Turn off your Macbook and disconnect it from the charger. Also disconnect all accessories.
  • Take a lint-free cloth or microfiber cloth and clean the screen.
  • You should be able to remove most smudges and fingerprints with a firm (but not too firm) polish. However, do not overdo it as it can cause damage.
  • For more difficult smudges and fingerprints , Apple recommends isopropyl alcohol diluted to 70%. Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth and wipe away smudges and fingerprints. Re-dampen as needed and wipe dry with another lint-free cloth when finished.

It should be. Apple recommends rubbing alcohol for cleaning and disinfecting Macbooks. Luckily, isopropyl alcohol is widely available in pharmacies, supermarkets, and other places. Either way, it's also cheaper than screen cleaning solutions, so go for it.


Dos and Don'ts of Cleaning Macbook Screens

The above method should work 100% of the time. In addition to our own experiences, we would also like to provide you with additional tips and tricks from Apple users and other users.

  • Clean the screen gently. If removing a fingerprint or smudge takes more than a few lightly firm wipes, dampen the cleaning cloth with rubbing alcohol and let the chemicals do the work.
  • Use a lint-free cloth or microfiber cloth like this one . abrasive cloths, sponges, etc. it can scratch and damage your screen.
  • Use isopropyl alcohol or a dedicated screen cleaning solution like this one. We recommend isopropyl alcohol because it's cheaper, available in many stores, disinfects surfaces, works well as a solvent, and evaporates much faster than most cleaning products.
  • Unplug everything from your Macbook so you don't accidentally damage anything. You'll have less panic if you accidentally spill cleaner on your Macbook when it's not turned on and your accessories are already out of the way.

  • Don't spray anything directly on your Macbook. Liquid could get into your Macbook through the keyboard, speakers, or ports. As you know, liquid in a computer is a very bad idea. Spray the cleaner on your cloth and wipe it off.
  • Do not use household cleaners. They usually contain chemicals that are too harsh or abrasive for computer screens and can cause damage. You might get away with it once or twice, but we don't recommend it at all.
  • Do not apply excessive pressure when cleaning or polishing. You clean a thin piece of glass, not your car, so don't polish it with everything you've got. They will break your screen.
