Re: Cleaning wipes for PB

2005-12-19 Thread AMBER K 
I was wondering about the baby wipe idea.  They are pretty cheap 
and if alcohol free, would they do any damage to the screen,  short 
term or long term ?

However, I have to say that I am pretty tempted to not take any 
chances and pay out for the Klear Screen or another mac approved 
wipe which I know for certain  will not cause any damage at all.

 Yep, you want to stay away from any product with alcohol. You 
won't 
 see the
 damage right away but after a while, your screen will start having 
 some kind
 of a haze and at that time, it's too late...

Re: Cleaning wipes for PB

2005-12-19 Thread AMBER K 
Actually,  I live on a major roadway and get tons of dust etc in my 
first floor condo.  It's a real pain in the neck.I am finding that I 
need to clean off my powerboook at least every 2-3 days.   There is 
no way one of these wipes would last a month, let alone a few 
days.

 Use either Klear Screen or HoodWipes, which were designed for 
 cleaning the
 screen and the HoodWipes work wonders on the outside of a 
laptop also.
 
 Don't be such cheap skates, you get 12 HoodWipes for $11 and 
on my 
 Pismo the
 cleaning lasts for a month or so, on both the screen and the 
case.

Re: Cleaning wipes for PB

2005-12-19 Thread AMBER K 
Have not been able to find the iKlear anywhere locally.
Just saw the Monster iClean product that comes with that light terry 
towel like microfibre cloth.  

Does Apple only approve of iKlear or is iClean a Mac related product 
as well ?

Hi Donald,

I just now managed to get onto the Apple site - for some reason 
have been unable to access any web pages for the last couple of 
hours.   Anyway,  looks like I'll be ordering the iClean on the Apple 
Ed site instead.   Seems to be a fairly decent product.

Thanks for the info,

Amber

 The Apple Store sells both.
 
 Here's how they describe iClean at the Apple website:
 
 # Alcohol-free, ammonia-free formula removes dust, dirt, and 
 fingerprints without damaging your display's protective coating.
 # Liquid gel will not drip into delicate electronics.
 # Contains a special polymer to protect your display, while 
 reducing 
 static electricity that attracts dust.
 # Special MicroFiberT cloth gently polishes your display without 
 scratching it.

Cleaning wipes for PB

2005-12-18 Thread AMBER K 

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody has used the Allsop Clear View Wipes for 
cleaning your PB and screen ?   Are they okay to use ?

I did see the more expensive iMonster and iKlear solutions but of 
course they were more than twice as expensive as this canister of 100 
pre-moistened wipes.  

It does say on the side that they are okay for laptops but just wanted 
to be sure.

Thanks,

Amber

Re: Cleaning wipes for PB

2005-12-18 Thread AMBER K 
Hi Harry,

I was wondering about that too as those Allsop wipes state they 
have alcohol in them.   

I went to Best Buy today and unbelievably, the Geek Squad guy told 
me to go to Canadian Tire and buy degreaser (Liquid Green ?) to 
clean the screen.  I can't imagine how horrible that would be for it.

His next option was windex.   Fortunately, I know neither of these 
would be a good choice but worry about other customers who may 
well do serious damage to their laptops by following his advice.

It seems the safest solution is the iKlear stuff as you suggest.

Thanks !

Amber
