This question comes from Callista:
I recently purchased "iKlear Apple Polish" to clean my laptop and iPod screens with. The company claims that it is "environmentally friendly" but they do not disclose their ingredients on the bottle (nor can I find them on the website). It does say that it is manufactured in California and it is free of alcohol, ammonia, and sodium.
Do you guys know anything about this company and if its ingredients are actually environmentally friendly, or do you have an alternative suggestion to environmentally-friendly LCD cleaner?
I just use a microfibre cloth...like the one you use to clean your glasses.

I agree with the previous poster, microfiber cloths dry will dust very efficiently, slightly dampened with water will wipe off smudges.

Along the same lines, I use a PVA chamois (the absorber) and I think it works great. I'd be afraid to use anything with alcohol in it.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the suggestions, everyone! I love the Microfiber idea. I think I'm going to try that next time. :)

Nah, alcohol works fine... My generic screen cleaner from Office Depot is mostly alcohol I think... which is almost as eco-friendly as water.

the great part about alcohol is that, unlike water, it evaporates super fast. Therefore, it doesn't have time to do any damage to your electronics.
