How to clean an Apple iPad


1.       Ensure the iPad is turned off. Although only a small amount of water will be used, it is not wise to clean the iPad with it on.
2.       Disconnect any wires or cables and remove the case (if present).
3.       Take a microfibre cloth and apply a small amount of water so that the cloth is damp. Make sure that the cloth is not dripping as this clearly can be dangerous to your iPad. DO NOT use any other type of cleaner including window cleaner, aerosol cleaner, or any other chemical cleaner.
4.       Using the damp cloth, gently rub all of the exterior surfaces of the iPad. Do this until you have wiped away all of the smudges on the screen and casing. Avoid getting water into the openings. The iPad has an oleophobic coating on the screen, the ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and may scratch your screen.
5.       Use the dry portion of the cloth (or another one if necessary) to dry off the phone, failure to dry properly will leave streaks. Make sure the iPad is completely dry before turning it back on.
