    I personally like Monster ScreenCleaner, even if it is slightly overpriced.

    I've used an damp (with water only) diaper, with great results. (Don't use the disposable kind of diaper!)

    Diaper, Rawjamaican? :eek: :D

    Anyways, I just use a microfibre cloth (the ones I use to clean glasses) and water, and it works fine. If you really want a cleaning liquid, Apple recommends iKlear, but its pretty expensive for just cleaning liquid ($30) when water works just fine.

    Sure! Cloth diapers are soft, relatively lint-free, and absorbs water, so none dribbles into the machine. It's great for taking those smudges and fingerprints off of the glossy screen. Don't know that I'd use it on a matte screen, though. :)
