I have a Imac G5 and was wondering what the safest way possible to clean my screen is... i am already using a microfiber cloth but i just noticed some spots... probably from sneezing... what sort of solution works the best????
(and i know to squirt it in the cloth... i am not that dumb)

Most people cover their nose and mouth when they sneeze, or at least turn away, towards the ground. I would be horrified if I sneezed on my iMac. Not because there would be snot and spit all over it, but because I made such a stupid, disgusting mistake.

Anyway, I probably shouldn't judge you.

When I had a laptop (whose screens are dust and dirt magnets), I just used a damp cloth, then wiped it down with a dry cloth. Worked fine. But dry it immediately after the wet application, or you could end up with permanent waterspots.

believe it or not, before you computer leaves the mfg., they clean the lcd with rubbing alcohol. i use a baby diaper, 100% cotton and a modest amount of rubbing alcohol to clean mine. been doing it for years as i am a smoker.....

I just use eye glass cleaner. Works great and dries quickly. Make sure to use a soft cloth when wiping. I use a cotton hankerchief.
