This is a plant based screen, case and tech cleaner. It isn't one of those highly evaporative cleaners that you can spray directly near openings, though - it has a liquid water base, so it'll damage your kit if it gets inside.
So, I tried using three screen cleaning products to do my family's iPads, laptops and our tv. And I tried very hard to compare the results fairly (though in the end any measure of cleanliness is a bit subjective). I used a screen cleaner from the biggest maker of these kinds of products (the one that begins with an 'F'). I used a foam cleaning product that has those words in its name. And I used this one. With each, I sprayed the fluid onto a cloth (there's a large purple microfibre one in the box with this one, but for consistency's sake I also used microfiber for the other two products.

Results
All three products cleaned off finger marks and food bits on the iPads. The only one that left no streaks or marks when held sideways to a light was this one (Mom's).
The price of Moms is a bit higher than the other two, but the quantity in the bottle is also higher.
I probably don't get through a bottle of this in less than 6months, cleaning things once a week,so it's quite good value, I think.
I then tried it on a large bathroom mirror with really great results (but I think it's probably no better than a normal glass cleaner for that kind of work).

Overall summary
Great product- best I've ever used at screen cleaning
Don't spray on the screen, but on your cloth
Large washable cloth included
Lasts ages.

I took delivery of this product and eagerly used it on my Mac Book Pro screen that was well in need of a clean (the reason I purchased it in the first place). As I use my Mac Book for workI carefully checked the box to make sure it was compatible and followed the instructions to the letter. Immediately I applied the cloth my screen became blotchy - it was like I had rubbed acid over the screen. Basically it's buggered and all because I used this product. Given the product comes from Mom's Chosen Brands in Ohia and I'm based in the Uk I do not expect to receive any satisfaction so am left with no other option but to warn others against this product. Go on Screen Mom surprise me.....!!

Have tried lots of these products over the years with varying results. I have to say I was skeptical about Screen Mom too because of the weird name but with lots of good reviews I thought I'd give it a try. This stuff is amazing. It comes with a big microfibre cloth which is nice, but the cleaning liquid itself is truly awesome. I cleaned my triple monitor setup and after one wipe down I was getting ready to do a second wipe down and realised they were basically perfect. I was actually a bit shocked. I live in the country and we have a lot of dust so normally there are Streaks after the first go and you really have to clean over and again, but not with this product. Perfect the first time. Also works amazingly well on my glasses and phone and tablet screens. Genuinely hard to overstate how good this stuff really is. I've already recommended to several people and I'll be ordering it again as well. On a side note- I also tested the cloth with a different product and the results were no where near as good, so it really is the actual liquid that makes the difference. Likewise also tried the product with a couple different microfibre cloths and equally good results. Look no further this stuff is what you need.

I literally can't praise this bottle of MAGIC enough!!

Our tv was so grotty, finger marks etc. Couple of sprays and a few wipes and we look like we have a brand spanking new tv in the bedroom!
Used so many screen sprays and they are like using muddy water to clean the screens in comparison to Screen Mom. Totally love it! I have cleaned all my mirrors with this stuff and they come out sparkling clean. Would defo reccommend and i wont be buying any other product for my mirrors and screens, only Screen Mom. Im extremely happy with my purchase!!! :)

I was rather dubious about this screen cleaner as it was so much more expensive than the usual damp tissue from the poundshop or the wet-and-dry tissues from Maplin (as was). However, all the 5-star reviews are correct. As it says on the box, it is free from odour, streaks, ammonia, alcohol and phosphate, and does seem to create an anti-static finish so that dust isn't immediately attracted. I tried it on my very grubby tablet and phone and they are now both like new. My twin PC displays will be next, and then every other screen in the house! You get a fairly large bottle, microfibre cloth and spray top attachment in the box.
Use it by spraying a very small amount - really, just a couple of very brief small squirts - on to the cloth and then wipe the screen. Don't spray it directly on to the screen, that's not necessary; I don't think it would do any harm but by spraying the cloth, as recommended, you have much more control. Wiping over the screen does the trick within a few seconds.
It says on the instructions to make sure the screen is turned off and cool i.e. don't do it immediately after turning the screen off, let it cool down a bit. I think this is so that the liquid on the cloth doesn't evaporate too quickly.
The publicity says that it's good for over 1,500 sprays and I can believe it - don't put too much on the cloth, you don't need it. I think I was getting 10 screen wipes for £1, so this is worth the equivalent of £150; the investment is well worthwhile in what is a very basic way to improve your view. I'm convinced!

Update June 2020:
I would give this six stars if I could. It is an excellent product wth many uses.
I have used it for a number of cleaning jobs; screens of course, but also my car front windscreen from which I could not get rid of some persistent greasy streaks until I tried a quick squirt of this cleaner.
Also, I still have some vinyl LPs and had been investigating cleaners as some of my records skipped all over the place. It won't remove pops or scratches, but a quick squirt with this and then a very gentle circular clean with the microfibre cloth restored some old favourites to playable condition (and immediate mp3 recording).
A couple of the LPs I hadn't played in at least a decade and now they are back to about 85-90% condition. After recording them to MP3 I then used audio editing software to reduce noise automatically and then took out the worst of the pops. Using this cleaner has been a quick and very satisfying process. I felt it was OK to try it on my LPs as it doesn't contain alcohol which would otherwise damage them.
I highly recommend this cleaner.
