    I've had my S6231 for a month now and love it. I just can't find any guidance in the manual on what to clean the screen with. Have a few fingerprints (kids) and lots of dust.

    Thanks-

    warm water and toilet paper...(if it's good for the @** it should be good for the screen)
    it's the cheapest way....

    if you happend to have a microfiber cloth...use it to dry the traces..

    Just dont ever use any solvents of and kind just water i actually just wet one microfiber cloth and dry with another one seems to work best. technically even toilet paper can scratch your screen.

    I just did a live chat with Fujitsu support- they recommend only using a barely dampend, soft cloth. I would be very cautious about using toilet paper or any wood based product-

    I use something called "klear screen" and two microfiber cloths. They claim they are "the only formula used, sold, or recommended by leading manufacturers such as Apple, Dell, Sony Vaio, HP/Compaq, Fujitsu, IBM, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba, and ViewSonic."

    I spray the klear screen on one cloth and use it to clean. I use the second cloth to wipe any smears or streaks. So far, so good, no scratches to be found.

    I use iKlear, Apple Polish. It is available at Fry's in the Apple computer area. It comes with the non solvent cleaner and micro fiber cloth. EXCELLENT! Works on all computer screens.
