Clean the nano-texture display

The nano-texture display differs for each Apple product, but the cleaning methods are the same. You can remove dust or smudges from the nano-texture display with any of these:

  • A clean Apple Polishing Cloth

  • A different microfibre cloth made for electronic displays

  • A fabric made from a blend of cotton and Elastane or SPANDEX.

While some Apple products come with a microfibre polishing cloth, you can also buy an Apple Polishing Cloth or a third-party microfibre polishing cloth.

For infrequent cleaning of hard-to-remove smudges, you can moisten the cloth with a 70 per cent isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution.
