I must have the dustiest house in the world...I even tried the 'steam' trick, I must have 10 bubbles of dust under the protector, and the protector was covered with fingerprints (mine of course) on both sides from repeated attempts at applying this thing. I used tape to get some of the dust, but by the time I put the protector back down, there was more dust underneath.

Are some people just not able to use protectors? I didn't know I needed a white room and surgical mask and gloves to put one of these things on.

I'm guessing I'll need a dust free cloth to clean the protector now that it's about 90% smudge and dust.

Any suggestions as to the best way to clean it?

I did some searching in the forums, in case anyone wondered, would still like some suggestions.

I'll get one of those microfiber cloths, wash the protector and try again later. Not good to try it when your frustration level gets too high. I also found the tape trick a bit frustrating as the scotch tape I was using was very sticky and would cause me to touch the protector when trying to remove, leaving fingerprints.

Maybe I'll try gloves next time.

This is what I did without any problem:
1. cleaned the screen with lint-free cloth;
2. blew away any dust with a blower (the kind that cleans camera lens);
3. peeled the protection film of the screen protector half-way, held the protector on the edge, never touch the surface, not yet;
4. blew again in case any dust landed on the screen, kept the protector in a distance when doing so to avoid the blown up dust landed on the protector surface
5. lined up the protector on one end of the screen, let the protector adhere to the screen little-by-little;
6. from the top, used finger to brush the part already on the screen to push air bubble out, push towards the other end (you can touch the protector surface now, from the top) and little-by-little peel of the protection film while progressing.
7. Done, no dust, no bubble.

Hope it helps.

In theory it's easy but I think it just takes a bit of practice and individual technique.

Bought Microfiber, and canned air...need to clean the now smudged protector...back later if I'm mentally able.
