Care+and+Maintenance

=Caring for and maintaining iPad=

All that is needed to maintain your iPad is to occasionally restart it and close out of apps that are running in the background. When you close out of an app, it doesn't actually quit and continues to run in the background. This is desirable as it is much quicker to switch back and forth between apps as they don't need to start-up cold, and the vast majority of apps will remember where you left off. The flip side is that all of those apps are using resources, significant ones if it is an app that uses the internet, which can make the iPad run slower and decrease battery life. Periodically, users should completely quit out of the apps running in the background by double-clicking on the home button, all the apps running will be displayed along the bottom (use this to quickly move back and forth between apps during use), tap and hold on any app for a few seconds until they begin to wiggle and tap on the "x" to completely close them.

Most times, the only thing needed to clean the iPad is a clean microfiber cloth. For more extensive cleaning, I recommend iKlear as a safe cleaner for it. It can be purchased at Apple Stores (any cleaner that the Apple Store carries is going to be safe) and online. The cleaner is slightly expensive, but usually only takes one or two sprays to clean the iPad. While other, less expensive cleaners will do the job, I personally can not guarantee they will not damage the iPad.
