Hey so I saw Apple's article about cleaning and it said it's fine to use alcohol on the screen to clean it, but can I use glass cleaner(like the window cleaner)? Does it contain other stuff that should not be used or it's just alcohol? Any hydrogen peroxide or anything that I shouldn't use? I am just double checking, it seems fine but you know just in case.

No! Never use Windex or glass cleaner on display screens. Don't use hydrogen peroxide or bleach, either.
A 70% isopropyl alcohol solution is fine, though.

um, isn't the glass cleaner alcohol? I am confused why can't I use it?
fine I am not gonna use it, I am gonna find another solution.
Windex contains ammonia, which can damage the polarizing film of the LCD screen.
The only "glass cleaner" I use is one for eye glasses or camera lenses which are designed to protect various special coatings such as anti-glare, especially camera lenses.
Can I clean my MacBook Air screen with glass cleaner?
