Yep,
No clean room required, however.....
Here's what I do (successful three times now no bubbles or lint/dust - can't even tell you have a protector on for the most part etc. May sound silly yet it works...
- I clean our entire granite island in the kitchen then cover it with a fairly damp large towel - near bath towel size etc. I then make sure I am the only one in the area and the AC/fans are off.
- I take my shirt off and wipe my head/hair and arms etc with a damp washcloth.
- I make sure to wipe both sides of the protector (with the damp washcloth) while it has the plastic (that you remove during instal) on it to alleviate static etc then place it on the damp towel.
- Clean iPad really well and place on damp towel - positioned for instal process.
- Perform instal per instructions - ensure perfect alignment around center button and even across the bottom of the screen - slowly remove plastic and smooth out as you pull toward the top. You must start out "right on", peeling it off some to realign will typically have poor results.
Be methodical and very precise with the first half inch of instal....
Obviously if you get some dust it is futile to try to remove it. As other have mentioned just buy the cheap protectors - two of them to get the hang of it. I've gone through four and only ruined the very first one. I attempted it without any thought and had about 50 lint/dust bubbles. A little googling brought me to the above process - tweaked only by my own imagination of where lint/dust might come from..
