Hey tech heads! The screen on my MacBook
pro is filthy. It's a matte screen. What should I use to
clean it?

A light spray of 50/50 mix of H20 and white vinegar with a soft cloth works fine for me. Don't rub hard.
That, and keep your greasy fingers off your screen :-)

I use the eyeglass cleaner that you can get at optical places and an eyeglass cloth. They work great. And many of those places refill the bottles for free.

If you don't feel comfortable with Fez4Prez's recommendation, you can buy wipes for laptop screens that will do the job.
Personally, I take a damp papertowel, lightly run it over the screen then run a dry papertowel over it. But you have to make sure not to let any moisture drip into the edges.

The soft cloth needs to be a microfiber one.
