    Whatever you use, try a small amount in the corner of the screen first. If it messes up the screen it won't be a huge swipe across the screen, it'll just be a small bit in the corner. Some screens have a coating over them, some are just sensitive to chemicals. Clean with caution.

    I use a soft towel with a touch of water to clean mine.

    Windex and cloth. Don't use a paper towel.

    RocketMan Tex, I disagree... I think he should use a POWER WASHER. What do YOU say? ;)

    Does it matter if it is one of them shiny screens or one of them TFT screens? I think your sweater's sleeve should be cool... no?

    Windex has ammonia, so that might degrade the screen.

    I just buy iKlear with a microfiber cloth. Works great and is safe.

    The one thing to do is put whatever you use on the cloth, not directly on the screen.

    You've gotta be kidding. Are you for real? This must be a joke. Everyone knows you use LARD instead of Vegiie table oil, you silly willy! DUH. :rolleyes:
