Windex on a soft cloth and wipe...

Not recommended to spray cleaners on the screen.

Ditto on that. Just remember to never, Never, EVER spray the screen directly. Only on the cloth.

Windex contains ammonia. I would recommend a mixture of alcohol, water, and a drop of dish soap. Put it in a small spray bottle and use it on your eyeglasses as well. As was pointed out, spray the rag for cleaning a computer screen.

I agree with the Zeiss wipes at Walmart. But be careful, Walmart also sells a Walmart brand that looks very similar and is displayed much more prominently. I have not tried those and don't know how good they are. The Zeiss wipes are usually around the opticians section.

I use lens cleaner with a microfiber towel. Here's a tip though, instead of your greasy finger, use a stylus to touch the screen!

And you think Walmart manufactures any of the products they brand? (Equate, ReliOn, etc). They are all manufactured by the same leading companies that produce the name brands.

Those work well as do NIKON and INVISIBLE GLASS wipes.

Ahh....dampen a soft rag with some water at one end and dry the screen with the other end.

I find that a damp cloth works fine.

I use 90% isopropyl alcohol in a clean piece of flannel. Just pieces of super-many washed kid pajamas.
