I am looking to clean my iMac screen and my iPhone screen. Do you know of any recommended screen cleaners that are safe for apple products. I was told I was told "Clear Screen" or "iKlean". What would you recommend?

Please refer to the Apple Recommendations listed in How to clean your Apple products:

Mac Pro, Mac Studio, Mac mini, and iMac
If your iMac has nano-texture glass, learn how to clean the nano-texture glass on your Apple display.
First, shut down your Mac and unplug the power cord along with other connected devices. Then use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer's exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Don't spray liquid directly on the computer. Don't use aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide that might damage the finish.
To clean the display on your iMac, dampen the cloth that came with your iMac—or another clean, soft, lint-free cloth—with water only, and then wipe the screen. To clean hard-to-remove smudges, you can moisten the cloth with a 70-percent isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution.
Don't clean the screen of your iMac with a cleaner containing acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with a screen or display. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen. It might drip inside the display and cause damage."

I use a dry microfiber cloth for my iPhone 15 Pro Max. For my M4 iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, or 32-inch LG 4K display, I use Apple's Polishing cloth. It is worth the price for the results it produces. I never use any liquids.

Just trying to understand your statement. How do you know that Apple uses this product ... even if they don't recommend it? Not trying to challenge your statement, just wanted to know how you are able to make this claim.
I go to Costco's optical department and buy their multipurpose lens cleaner and use that. What works for me is.
I do the same thing for my eyeglasses (plastic lenses).
Total cost of the cleaning kit is <$5.
By far the best screen cleaner for apple products that apple uses but doesnt suggest is 'Whoosh' you can buy it amazon but the price varies depending on where you live I cant seem to find it anywhere else than on amazon or the whoosh website but this is by far the best apple screen cleaner.
What is a good screen cleaner for apple products?
