We aren't damaging it with clearers or at least I'm not. I've never used a cleaner on my MBP ever. All I've done is use a microfiber cloth, no water, no cleaner.

From the pattern of the issue (http://i.imgur.com/gnAqDqk.jpg) you can see it has absolutely nothing to do with cleaning. In fact, it's mostly the edges of the screen that need to be wiped. The center, where the issue is, rarely if ever needs to be wiped/cleaned. On top of that you can see a pattern from the keyboard under the main issue area.

Someone above mentioned heat. Maybe it's closing an MBP after playing a game. They literally get too hot to touch. You have to make sure you fingers don't touch between the keys or else OUCH!

Checking where the area of issue touches the main body of the MBP it's the area between the touchpad and the keyboard that lines up with the area of the screen with all issue.

I used to get these marks like this on the screen when I jammed laptop into my backpack real tight. screen bends inwards touches keyboard. nothing good can come out of it.
