How to clean macbook screen? when cleaning the screen of your MacBook Pro, you should use caution because abrasive or highly saturated clothes can seriously harm the computer. The screen can be safely cleaned using the following techniques.

Turn off the computer-:

Detach the power adapter from the MacBook Pro and turn it off.

If you are only using a dry cloth to clean the screen, removing the power adapter is unnecessary, but it is still advisable because the friction created by the cloth could still interact with and harm the adapter.

Make use of a microfiber cloth to remove stains. Use a microfiber cloth to gently polish the screen, going around it in small circles as you go. As you work, apply a steady but light pressure; do not use excessive force.

Any cloth that is soft, lint-free, and static-resistant will do; however, optical microfiber cloth is ideal. Avoid using paper towels, dish towels, and abrasive cloths.

It could take up to five minutes of buffing the screen to completely get rid of all smudges and fingerprints.

To avoid unintentionally re-smudging the screen, hold the computer by the upper edge or the keyboard.

Water a soft cloth and let it dry. 

Using a soft microfiber cloth and a small amount of water, lightly moisten it.

Use only soft cloth. Although most non-abrasive clothes will function well, a static-free, fiber-free cloth works best. However, avoid using rough clothes like dishtowels, paper towels, or dishrags.

Avoid soaking the cloth in water. A wet cloth has a higher likelihood of dripping extra water into the machine, which could seriously harm your computer. In case you unintentionally use too much water, wring the cloth out thoroughly until it is barely damp.

Use distilled water as opposed to tap water for the best results. Minerals are present in tap water, and some of these minerals have conductivity. As a result, tap water is more likely than distilled water to result in a short.

Never spray water directly onto the MacBook Pro's screen. This significantly raises your chances of getting water into the machine, which increases the likelihood of a short. Water should only be applied with a soft cloth.

Wipe the screen clean: -

In small, circular motions, buff the screen from top to bottom and from side to side. As you work, press firmly but lightly on the screen. For a finish free of streaks, immediately dry the screen after wiping.

To prevent re-smudging the screen as you work, hold it at the very top or very bottom.

Before all the smudges are gone, you might have to go over the screen more than once. Depending on how many passes you need to make over the screen, you might also need to dampen the cloth again as you go.

On a microfiber cloth, mist a small amount of LCD or plasma cleaner:-

A little of this cleaner should be sprayed onto your soft cloth. Avoid soaking the cloth. You shouldn't be able to squeeze any liquid out of it, and it should only be slightly moist to the touch.

Use only lint-free, static-free, soft clothes. Any microfiber cloth will typically work, but lens cloths work particularly well. Avoid using terry cloth towels, paper towels, dish towels, and other abrasive materials.

Use only cleaning supplies that were designed and sold for use with LCD screens. Use of bleach, aerosol sprays, solvents, all-purpose cleaners, products containing alcohol, and abrasives are prohibited. All of these items have the potential to seriously harm the screen. The screen may even completely break in extreme circumstances.

Avoid spraying the cleaning agent onto the screen directly. The likelihood of getting moisture into the bottom or side openings increases if you do this. These gaps shouldn't be left open to moisture because if it gets inside, they could short out your computer.
