Your iPad is completely covered with fingerprints, but yes, you are also supposed to operate an iPad with your fingers? Removing grease and dirt from your iPad is simply part of the regular maintenance of an iPad. In this article, we'll explain how to properly clean the touch screen of your iPad. All you need is a high quality microfiber cloth or a lens cloth. Read on for more instructions.

To step

Method 1 of 2: Cleaning your iPad

1. Unplug your iPad and press the sleep button on top of your iPad, or turn your iPad off completely. Remove any external cables and / or electronics connected to your iPad.
2. If you still have it, remove the cleaning cloth that came with your iPad from the packaging. That is a black microfiber cloth from Apple. Shake the wipe back and forth to remove any loose particles from the wipe.
3. Check the screen of the iPad for dirt and large pieces of dirt. If you just wipe the screen with a cloth, larger particles can damage your screen.
4. If necessary, use compressed air to remove dirt to avoid scratching your iPad screen.
   • Note: If you are using compressed air in a frozen form, be careful not to get moisture into any of the openings on your iPad or onto the screen itself.
5. Place the cleaning cloth on the screen of your iPad. If you no longer have the original cloth, you can also use one of the following:
   • A microfiber cloth
   • A lens cloth to clean glasses.
   • A soft, lint-free cloth.
     • Do not use tea towels, towels or kitchen paper. The material can damage the screen of your iPad.
6. Gently rub the cleaning cloth in a circular motion until the screen is clean.
7. Check if there are any bits of grease or dirt left behind. You will see that your iPad will shine again after just a few circular movements!
8. Repeat after each use or as needed. This can help keep your iPad clean without fingerprints and greasy smudges.
9. Do not use the following to clean an iPad. iPads have a grease-resistant coating on the screen, that coating is sensitive and can be cleaned with just a cloth. The following items will damage the oil-resistant coating if you use it to clean your iPad:
   • Glassex or all-purpose cleaner
   • Aerosol cans
   • Solvents
   • Alcohol
   • Ammonia
   • Abrasive

Method 2 of 2: Tips for keeping your iPad clean

1. Consider buying an effective protective cover. The market is inundated with iPad covers; they are everywhere, which does not make choosing any easier. Here are some tips you can use when choosing a cover for your iPad:
   • Choose something that fits well while not hindering use. You need something that acts like a second skin for your iPad, but a skin that doesn't get in the way of using the iPad.
   • Only choose a leather case if it fits very well. Leather covers are nice and your iPad becomes more chic, but if they don't fit very well, dust and dirt can easily get between the cover and the iPad.
2. Clean your iPad regularly. You don't have to clean your iPad after every use, but if you regularly clean your iPad for a minute, you can be sure that you can enjoy your iPad for a long time, without dirt and grease.
3. Never spray liquid directly on your iPad. Liquid + iPad opening = disaster. As a rule of thumb, never use liquids to clean your iPad, in order to maintain the grease-resistant coating.
   • If you really need to use liquid, use a cleaning agent such as iKlenz. This type of cleaner removes dust and kills bacteria. If used correctly, you can use this agent to ensure that your screen will shine without streaks.
4. Ready.

Tips

• Always keep a cleaning cloth handy so that you can wipe your iPad clean after each use.
• Wash your cleaning cloth if necessary or after frequent use.
• Turn off your iPad before cleaning to avoid accidentally operating apps.
• Never spray into openings, as this can cause problems and irreparable damage.

Warnings

• Never use cleaning alcohol, Glassex or other chemicals to clean the screen of your iPad. This removes the layer and reduces the sensitivity of the device.
• Don't get your iPad wet.

Necessities

• Aerosol can with compressed air (only needed for loose dirt)
• Microfiber cloth
