No matter how careful you are with your MacBook, there is a good chance that the screen will get dirty at some point. Fingerprints, dust and other particles can accumulate over time. To keep the quality of your screen as high as possible, it is very important to clean it every now and then. But of course you want to do this in a safe and careful way that does not damage the MacBook.
Step-by-step plan for cleaning your MacBook screen
- Turn off the laptop and make sure all cables and external devices are disconnected from the laptop.
- Next, use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe away any excess dust from the screen.
- If there are still stains on the screen, you can also moisten the cloth to wash the screen. Be careful not to spray liquid directly onto the screen, this can damage the MacBook.
- Make sure the laptop is completely dry before turning it on again.
Some tips for cleaning your MacBook screen
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth. Paper towels and other substances can have an abrasive effect and permanently damage the screen.
- Make sure that no moisture enters any openings.
- Disconnect all external cables.
- Do not rub the screen for an excessive amount of time. This may cause damage.
- Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasive ingredients as these may damage the screen.
- Rub gently in a circular motion, starting in one corner and working towards the center of the screen.
Tips and tricks for removing stubborn stains
- For oil or grease stains, try a little dish soap mixed with water. Make sure you wring the cloth out well so that it is only damp, not wet.
- For ink stains, try a little isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab. Gently rub the stain, then wipe it clean with a dry cloth.
- For stubborn dust particles stuck in the edges of the screen, try a soft toothbrush or a can of compressed air.
