How to Clean Your Paperlike 3 (Step-by-Step)
The best way to maintain the matte finish and responsiveness of your Paperlike 3 is by using our All-in-One Cleaning Kit. If you don’t have it nearby, you can safely use a microfiber cloth paired with:
A damp cloth with a drop of mild dishwashing liquid.
Alcohol-free screen wipes.
A specialized lens-cleaning solution.
Cleaning Instructions
Follow these steps to remove fingerprints, skin oils, and dust:
Apply Liquid to Cloth: Spray your cleaning solution or water onto a microfiber cloth. ⚠️ Important: Never spray liquid directly onto your iPad, as it can seep into the edges and cause permanent damage.
Wipe in Circular Motions: Gently wipe the entire surface of the Paperlike to lift dirt and oils.
Remove Residue: Use a clean, slightly damp section of the cloth to remove any remaining soap or cleaner.
Dry the Surface: Ensure the screen is completely dry before using your Apple Pencil to prevent slipping.
Understanding the Lifespan of Your Screen Protector
The typical lifespan of a Paperlike 3 ranges from several months to years, depending on your handling and Apple Pencil usage.
Natural Wear: Heavy daily writing or drawing may gradually "polish" the matte texture in high-use areas. This is normal for all textured films and happens as the film protects your iPad screen from scratches.
The Refresh Replacement: We include a second protector in every box. Once you notice a significant reduction in texture or screen clarity, use your second unit for a fresh, "like-new" drawing experience.
Professional Handling & Maintenance Advice
To keep your Paperlike 3 in top condition and prevent "bubbling" or lifting, follow these maintenance tips:
One-Time Installation: Do not attempt to remove and reapply the protector. The silicone adhesion is designed for a single, perfect install.
Avoid Grit & Sharp Objects: Keep grit, sand, and sharp metal objects away from the surface to avoid deep scratches.
Don't Use Fingernails: Avoid pressing hard with fingernails or sharp tools, which can dent the precision-engineered texture.
Use a Clean Case: When traveling, store your iPad in a clean sleeve or case to protect the edges from dust buildup.
Protect the Edges: Keep all liquids away from the very edges of the film to prevent "lifting" or loss of adhesion.
Summary: Caring for Your Precision Tool
Treat your Paperlike 3 like a precision tool. By cleaning it regularly with the Paperlike Cleaning Kit, avoiding harsh chemicals, and replacing the film when the texture wears down, you ensure your iPad remains the ultimate device for writing and drawing. With the right care, your Paperlike will stay clear, responsive, and long-lasting.
