I have been buying cheap LCD wipes from Crackerjack (formerly the Clearance Shed) which do a good job.





My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

I have had success with baby wipes.
You can't use a reusable cloth cos generally it's dirtier than the thing you're trying to clean.

I use the same spray that I use to clean my glasses, which I got from SpecSavers, and a microfibre cloth from a $2 shop.

DONT use paper towels . They can actually scratch the screen, over time . Paper Napkins are softer .

 

The problem is, the stuff thats 100% monitor safe, doesnt do a good job of cleaning , especially finger marks etc

 

I use a bit of glass cleaner . It is quite harsh, and there is a risk , but Ive been lucky.
Ive seen stuff like glass cleaner remove the monitors top coating , and on laptops Ive seen the coating on the surround get stripped off : worst case , so use at your own risk :-)

 

If its just dust , then a soft cloth is all you need.

I use one of these - clean it regularly and it works forever. 

 

I even use it on my glasses!

Mostly baby wipes, but sometimes Woosh! from Amazon. Woosh is advertised as great for glasses as well, but dish washing liquid and gentle washing works much much better.

I've never washed a monitor...how do you dry it?

I wash glasses, not my monitor. Baby wipes and a tissue on the monitor.
