Until today, many Quirks were left clueless when it came to cleaning their Cloaks. Yes it is one of the few products on the market made from hearty non-slip rubber. Yes black is notoriously known to proudly display any imperfection. But this is the Cloak, we’re talking about–the much anticipated, brand spankin’ new, best iPad case ever. Something had to be done about this messy situation.

Community Intern to the rescue! In the past 24 hours, I’ve been on a quest to find a quick and easy solution. I tested a rag and multi-purpose cleaner, (’twas too soapy), Clorox wipes (left behind too much residue), Windex (there’s a reason it’s made for glass), and even baby wipes (no comment) with no prevail. I also trued running the Cloak under lukewarm water, without the iPad in it, of course, for somewhat satisfactory results but I refused to settle. Finally I discovered Pledge Multi-Surface Wipes. The wax-free formula in this multi-surface cleaner wiped away dust and dirt without leaving any residue build-up behind.

Bottom line: If you’re willing to shell out a few bucks at the corner drugstore, go ahead and Pledge your allegiance now. Otherwise, as I found in my most recent experiment, a damp textured sponge works quite well too.

Stay quirky and keep your Cloaks clean. Over and out!
