Does anyone know of any products than can be safely used to clean an iBook's LCD without causing it harm. I've got definite gunk buildup on my screen from all those women (and men), hugging and touching it.

check that thread, there are a couple of brands of cleaners mentioned

The best non-abrasive chemical is plan old warm water.

Just use a soft cloth, and if it's really bad use a little joy or some other mild dish soap. Make sure the cloth is just damp, you don't want to drench the LCD with soap and water and if you use soap make sure to wipe the screen with a cleam damp cloth.

Also, you want to make sure that you don't use any cleaners with ammonia like glass cleaner, the chemicals in them can damage the protective layer of your screen over time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, it's been really helpful!
With none of the recommended products seeming to be available in the UK, I did a light clean with a damp cloth. It cleaned up a treat.

Just an added caveat, if I may. If using water as a cleanser, I would suggest using DISTILLED water. Consider how when even a freshly cleaned window sprayed with tap water will appear to be spotty when left to dry.

Taking this to quite another level, I even use distilled water with the appropriate mixture of antifreeze in my vehicle's radiator. I haven't lost radiator in years since employing this practice.

Just a suggestion.
