What You Need
If the touchscreen is smudged and smeared from repeated taps or some other reason, take the proper precautions as you clean it. The wrong type of cloth can cause damage. Before you clean your iPad, collect a few cleaning supplies:
Microfiber cloth: If one isn’t available, a soft, lint-free cloth also works. If you wear glasses, the small square you use to clean your glasses works perfectly for the iPad.Water: You’ll need to wet the cloth, but use only water. Never use cleaning supplies or solvents. These break down the protective coating on the iPad.

Continued Care of Your iPad
Because iPads are primarily touch-based, the iPad screen should be cleaned often. Keep in mind, however, that iPads have an oleophobic coating on the screen that repels the oils from fingers. Over time, this coating wears down from normal use and using an abrasive cloth or solvents accelerates this effect. Clean tempered glass screen protector the same way, but make sure that moisture doesn’t get under the glass screen. If moisture does get inside the iPad, get support from Apple or a take it to a certified repair shop.
