For the record, I actually don't think this is crazy and I think it's good/sensible that they're trying to give people guidance on how to clean their expensive screens.

Off-topic: am I alright using a screen cleaner like Woosh! on the MacBook Pro or should I go totally dry?

Apple uses alcohol to clean the screens in their stores.

Like, isopropyl alcohol?

Yes, it's a safe bet we're talking about rubbing (wood) alcohol here, not grain (e.g. booze) to clean fingerprints and miscellaneous cooties off the screens. A single-malt is only effective for scrubbing off residue from social interactions.

I use microfiber clothes on camera lenses and computer screens (dry basically). It usually works very well. If that doesn't work a little water.
