How to Thoroughly Clean Your Mac Screen
The most logical thing is to use specific cleaning products for Mac screens, such as disinfectant wipes that Apple sells. But right now it is difficult to find similar products and many of us cannot go out and buy because the Apple Stores are closed.

The ideal is to use distilled water, but let's get down to business. Nobody in your home usually has this product. So use normal water and 70% isopropyl alcohol As minimum. If you don't have it, use the 96% alcohol that we used for wounds.

This solution achieved will be enough to keep the screen clean without damaging it, but do not overdo it too much because you can end up with the protective film of the same and leave stains that can no longer be removed later. Use a microfiber cloth and in the absence of it, toilet paper or napkins. In this case, do not press too hard to avoid scratching the screen. Run it all over the computer.
A little trick, we can add a few drops of essence, if you have, so that the smell it gives off is more pleasant. We know that cleaning products have a smell, let's say, special, but necessary these days.
