Baby wipes, alcohol swabs or whatever - tsk tsk. The best sort of thing one can use is that which would be used by a photographer - a standard lens cleaning cloth which is totally none abrasive and so would not scratch the screen at all. A paper towel would scratch the screen and one must remember that the liquid crystal in the laptop screen is easily damaged from any excess pressure.

I would not use a glass cleaner or a paper towel. Just use a regular hand towel that you know is clean, and some plain old water. Just wet the towel a little and gently rub it. There's also some great stuff called monster screenclean that's meant for computer monitors, laptop screens, etc. it's awesome

My girlfriend uses baby wet-wipes then dries with a tissue. Yes, I am talking about cleaning a laptop screen...
You'll be surprised at how much muck they pick up (especially if you smoke), and they are probably cheaper to use than "special" computer-screen-wipes.
Another plus side: go shopping with your boyfriend and watch the look on his face when you chuck wet-wipes in the basket...
But seriously, possible relationship arguments aside, baby wet-wipes are very effective at cleaning your screen.

You can buy a proper lcd cleaning kit contains a special non abrasive cloth and spray should last for years for about £6 .Look down the computer aisle at your local supermarket.
