I suggest the dish washer. Top rack is best. Open as wide as it will go and lay screen side down for best results.

I've also heard the line about ammonia taking off the anti-glare finish on LCD screens, but I don't know how true that is. I've always used it on mine and have never had problems.

I use eye glass lens cleaner (i have 3 large bottles) to clean pretty much all of my electronic equipment including my laptop's screen and surfaces. It's alcohol based (i think) so it dries quickly.

(Also good for cleaning eyeglasses.)
What I do is dampen a small part of the cloth with water and wipe the screen. Then I go over it with a dry part of the cloth. This won't do much with a standard cotton cloth or such, but with the microfiber it works well. If it's been a while and the marks are really stubborn (generally oil from your fingers, either from touching it or from the keyboard while it's closed) I might have to repeat the process to get the best results. But it always has given me results. There are pads you can buy to put between the keyboard and screen while the laptop is closed to protect it somewhat. I keep meaning to try one but after a few years now of seeing them I still haven't. ;) Do not use a paper towel, tissue, etc. Too scratchy, even if it seems otherwise. (A little tiny dab here and there probably won't hurt, but don't take chances when trying to do a good cleaning.) |
Diabetic swabs. Pretty much pure alcohol, then a buff down with a quality tissue or towel.
I only need to do this every month or two, so my friendly Diabetic doesn't mind too much ^ most of the time I use a left over during his injection at work. IBM X60, so no glossy screen. |
Laptop screen
The hot towels in business class on most flights work well too. I use them all the time; face and hand first, then the laptop screen.;)
