Why is my screen so dirty? Won't wipe clean

Macbook Pro 2019 16”. Bought it a year ago but hardly use it. Screen is smudgy and when I wipe, it gets worse, as if it has a screen protector on it. I’m pretty sure I peeled that off when I bought it. I feel stupid. I’m afraid to spray anything on it. I’m starting to use it more, but the display is awful.

"To clean the screen on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down the computer and unplug the power adapter. Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with water only, then use it to clean the computer's screen."


Have a fantastic day!
