If you are an iMac user, you‘ve probably seen these smudges inside the screen. These spots bothered us so much, and we finally decided to clean them up with our own hands!
Well, if you are struggling with similar problems, feel free to ask us any questions. (hopefully we have the answers...)
It wasn't easy, but it wasn't too hard!
If we did it, you can do it, too. (maybe not... :p)

TWO :
Take the Display’s front glass panel apart from the iMac body by using heavy-duty suction cups.
Probably the most important part of this project.
(Oooops, sorry about the finger prints on the panel! It’s so embarrassing... We’ll clean them up later.)

Ta-da! :)
Okay, let's take a break. Plus, we needed to do some more research...
THREE :
Clean up the surface of LCD very gently with a microfiber cleaning cloth.

From corner to corner. Be very gentle, please.
FOUR :
Time to reassemble the parts. Jay also taped the sides of the display. Very neat, huh!?
(such a perfectionist!)

You can also vacuum the dust while the display is open!

SIX :
Set up your Display back on your (messy) desk, and now you’re done.
(And please... please clean up your desk.)

See? Now it's all cleaned up, and we are very satisfied with the way it looks now!
It wasn't easy, but it wasn't too hard!
If we did it, you can do it, too. (maybe not... :p)
