Hi! No, you should not be cleaning with the alcohol, please, however, you can take like a little and I mean very very damp soft cloth and wipe it. Note an importnat point that it should not be dripping wet, it should be just a little teeny tiny drop of water. Putting alcohol wipes is a little tricky and may cause problems to your dots. So, there is a cleaning mode and you'll figure that out when you get your focus blue, you will press the power button and press the top two rightmost buttons while pressing the power buttons. It's a little confusing at first, but you get used to it. What it does is like the dots have a pattern to dance up and down or like pop up and down which can be pretty cool sometimes. Haha!!! So, for example, if you press the button on the top right most button, it puts all the dots up and if you press the down rightmost button, it will bring all the dots down. Then, if you press the button next to the upper rightmost button, all six dots start popping up and down and if you press the button down to that, it starts to pop up and down in an O pattern. Then, after that, it's just different pattern. You can figure that out when you get it. I hope I didn't confuse you, if I did, don't hesitate to post more questions either to this list or me directly. I will be glad to help. So, yeah. It's a great display............ I have one that is not bluetooth and it bothers me a lot. We are in a real tight budget where I live and where I live, the displays are very expensive. So, you're lucky.... Thanks!
