Cleaning laptop screens?

What does everyone use to clean the screen on their laptop. Im using my sisters and it has never been cleaned, and she doesnt know what to use. It just has smudges and dust on it.
Thanks

Go down to the T or A post, and use your tongue...

on the serious side, I always used a slightly damp cloth. You don't want enough water that will run down the screen and go under the edges. May want to do it turned off with the batteries and cord unplugged and leave it sit for a while afterwards to be on the ultra safe side.

I've always used a damp paper towel, and then dry it off immediately with a dry paper towel so it doesnt streak.

Same here, damp soft cloth followed up with a dry soft cloth. And LIGHT pressure when cleaning, it's not your glass TV...

Get some of those cheap MF towels at the parts stores. If plain water doesn't get everything off, use rubbing alcohol, it has no abrasives (like glass cleaner) and leaves no film.

There are cleaners for antiglare, LCD, and notebook screens. I got some from Staples. Can't remember how much it was, 4 oz, but should last me years.
