Since first appearing in stores, Apple’s cleaning cloth has been the subject of criticism in some trade forums. The sheet, meanwhile, is still exhausted by demand and with delivery times stretching until the end of the year, so let’s take a look at some alternatives.
A fabric that makes a lot of talk
Go ahead, not all cleaning cloths are the same. As in everything, there is different qualities and also some devices that require special care. The optional anti-reflective nano-textured finish on the Apple Pro Display XDR as well as the iMac requires us to be extremely careful when cleaning. In a support document, Apple states the following:

“Never use another cloth to clean the nano-textured glass. If you lose the supplied cloth, contact Apple to order a new one.”

On Amazon, you can find eyeglass / screen wipe packs for $ 7.99. In Mercadona, on the other hand, you can buy a versatile microfiber cloth for 0.90 euro.
