Among the new features to be found on the 2020 27-inch iMac is an option to order the computer with the nano-texture glass that was previously only offered on the Pro Display XDR. This glass reduces glare to a bare minimum, but requires different cleaning tools than other display options.
The glass itself is unique in that it scatters light as it hits the display, minimizing glare and reducing the undesirable haze and sparkle of the normal matte coatings.
Apple provides a special cleaning cloth for the nano-texture glass. The company says you should never use any other material on the display or you risk damaging the glass.
Fortunately, users can remove smudges via a common 70-percent isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution that you probably already have on hand. Moisten the cleaning cloth with it, and you can easily wipe away those hard-to-remove smudges.
Once complete, you should clean the included polishing cloth to remove excess alcohol via the following steps:
- Wash the polishing cloth by hand with dish soap and water.
- Rinse the cloth thoroughly.
- Allow your polishing cloth to dry for at least 24 hours.
Users can also order a spare or replacement polishing cloth via the support link below.
