IMO, nothing works as well as these screen wipes.

You will need a little moisture to clean it, and I've never had an issue with these ones.

.

If I'm not mistaken, these are the only brand of LCD cleaner that is "approved" by Apple...

That would make sense. I bought my package of them at an Apple Store.

I always use ethanol (95%) and kimwipes (lens cleaning tissue). Works excellently.

I use a great substance called "water." FWIW, it's what Apple recommends: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1307

For really dirty screens, I use Windex on a soft cloth (spray the cloth, not the screen). There's some odd paranoia about not using Windex--"It'll etch the plastic!" or "You'll remove the antiglare coatings!"--but I've been using it for decades on computer screens with no problems.

Second (or 20th) on this suggestion.

The same article also recommends the products I posted:

While there are many commercial products available that will work without damaging the plastics, Apple has tested a product called Klear Screen made by Meridrew Enterprises (http://www.klearscreen.com) and found it does not cause any harm to the plastics. This product may not be available worldwide.

I use Microfiber towels. The same kind that I use on my cars.

Windex
 
A second vote for Windex.

The sales guys at the Apple store in SF told us they use Windex nightly to clean the demo machine screens. If it's good enough for them, it works for me.
