Screen Stains that won't go away

Screen Stains that won't go away

My flatmate used my new MBP 15" Retina today, got finger stains on it and then went to clean it. They say just with tap water, but there are stains all over the screen like a smudgy mist that won't come off - i think they used some kind of washing up liquid or soap.

"I would be contacting Apple about this. You're still under warranty and this could be a ""undiscovered feature"" of retina displays. I only found one thread about this at the Discussion board - normally that's where this sort of chatter gains momentum. (If you have to create an ID to use the link, you could try your new Apple ID, or just make one they are free)

"I know it sounds dumb but if try to make the smudge bigger it makes it look less worse (at least in my case). I used my fingers to spread out the smudge and make it bigger, in a sense, and then a paper towel by cleaning in a circular motion…. I used alcohol, but im not sure if everyone’s screen will be ok with that, lol.

hope it helps! it did for me"
