    Hi,

    Being the fact that I just got my laptop today, I wanted to find out what you guys were using to clean your glossy screens with? I am hoping to use the method that leaves the least amount of residue as I plan to place the AG2 Green Onion screen and glare protector over it.

    Thanks.

    Option 1: Microfiber cloth for basic dry cleaning.

    Option 2: Persistent residue I will lightly dampen a paper towel with water, then extract as much water as possible and proceed to clean the screen, I'll then use a dry paper towel to dry.

    I try not to use chemical based cleaners.

    Same here, clean damp soft cloth followed by a clean microfiber. No solutions necessary. I'm cleaning it daily because I've taken to using it for a shaving mirror in the morning.
