It’s been a few months since I had my workstation upgraded to the 24″ iMac, and since it’s been a few months, dust has been accumulating as well behind the glass screen cover. The glass screen cover, although I personally think it’s good, has its own flaws as well. That gap is a major issue, since it allowed dust to get in and stay there. Luckily, the cover is held by magnets that are easily detached, so we can clean the screen ourselves without having to take the iMac to a current Apple service center.

A while ago, we also got a good deal on a Belkin Pure AV Display Cleaning Kit. Not that we’re promoting Belkin or anything, but trust me, since it’s a low viscosity gel, it won’t drip when you sprayed it on your display, and it comes with its own micro-fiber cleaning cloth. So when it goes to cleaning the displays in our office in general, this always comes in handy.

But how do I clean my iMac’s actual LCD? That’s the reason why I also managed to get these items:

A regular household gloves pack (I prefer those surgical latex gloves, but I can’t seem to find a store that sells them in packs), and a reliable suction cup, preferably with a locking mechanism to make sure that it sucks on a surface perfectly. Why would I get those? Those are the tools I used to safely remove the glass cover and clean the LCD. I found the technique by watching this video I stumbled upon in YouTube:

Pretty neat, huh? And I’m always happy when my workstation is sleek and clean. To me, it gives a morale boost to work until the end of the day.
