Yeah - you can use a cloth. You may not want to directly spray something like Windex on the screen itself, but you can spray Windex on a cloth and then rub the cloth on the screen. That works well for cleaning up those lines, finger smudges, etc. that occur on the screen 😛

I use alcohol to clean off finger smudges, much more effective.

if it’s an lcd screen they also make a protective gel cleaning substance…
“Allsop Clearview Gel” is what we use here in the office.

I got a polish cleaner combo from the Apple store when i went there its called iKlear and its a great screen polish as well. Gets your screen looking back to normal and it will also clean your case and stuff too. I love it. It comes with wet and dry almost like those handwipe things, use the wet, then the dry, and your all set.
A lot of the time i just pick those spots off with my nail tho, bad i know, but it works.

Ewww…for some reason when you mentioned the word “nail”, I couldn’t help but think about the Salad Fingers guy from the animations here: [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65004](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65004) 😛
