Resolved Dumb question: How do you clean the screen on iMacs?

[Hugh]

I have two iMacs one is a late 2007, and the other is a late 2012. What do you use to clean the screen on both of those iMacs, what cloth and cleaner.

I also have a mid 2012 13''MacBook Pro (non-Retina) how do clean that as well. Sorry about posting here about the MacBook. I thought this would be okay

Apple also gives instructions on how to clean your Mac in the User Guides for the MBA, MBP and iMac:

Cleaning your Mac

​

When cleaning the outside of your Mac and its components, first shut down your Mac, and then unplug the power adapter. Then use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the Mac exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do not spray liquid directly on the computer. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish.
