A year or so ago, I bought a cute little package of cleaning swabs along with a small little rag to clean my wife’s Macbook Pro. The cleaning kit was ridiculously expensive and I was apprehensive about buying it, but I didn’t see any other options.

The reality is that simple microfiber clothes work much better with no cleaning solution necessary. Microfiber towels can be purchased virtually anyplace and don’t require soap or chemicals to work. Just rub the screen with a clean dry microfiber cloth until clean. Done. If your microfiber cloth gets dirty, just throw it in the laundry with the rest of the clothes and you are ready for your next cleaning job.

Save yourself some money and buy a microfiber cloth and use it to clean all of your electronic screens. It will work whether you have an old laptop screen, shiny new iPad or maybe an older iPhone.
