never used that smiley

 

Most paper towel does me fine in most cases, Steel wool if massive staining

 

I bought this technology cloth from compusa which works pretty well. I also have some screen wipes that I haven't tried out yet.

 

BUy the belkin cleaning kit from any electronics store..comes with spray bottle and duster/wiping cloth apparatus..works wonders!

 

microfiber cloth + windex or water cleans everything

 

50% Isopropyl alcohol. and a fine towel.

You defiantly don't want windex or any other anomia based cleaner. It will dissolve the screen.

 

mmmm, anomia

 

Oh sorry, i was tired. (all the tryptophane)

Ammonia

 

steel wool? Are you serious. I would think it would tear up a screen.
I just spray a little windex on toilet paper, then wipe it and dry with another piece. It gets the job done and is safe.
