I use liquid soap and water. I wash my hands first then wash the lenses with the liquid soap on my fingers. I like the foamy liquid soap the best.
If I have time I let them air dry. If I am in a hurry, I use a cloth towel to dry them. I do not use paper towel or tissues.
My oldest pair is probably 10 years old with very few scratches.

Take an old 100% cotton Tshirt (make sure it is clean) (I guess you could also use a new one if you don't have an old one--still, be sure it is clean) and use pinking shears to cut it into small squares--this fabric will be the perfect density and softness to clean your glasses. If desired, you could purchase some spray-on eyeglass cleaner from an opticians, but always spray it on to the CLOTH, not directly on the lenses.
Great question, by the way.

I have been wearing glasses for longer than I care to say and here's the key to not scratching your lenses: always rinse them off first under water and then lightly blot them dry with a clean tissue or cloth. What scratches a lens is any particles that are on them when you wipe them. I've seen many people use excessive pressure to clean a lens and it isn't necessary. If they are oily, then use a tiny amount of soap on your fingers after you rinse them and then rinse them again. That should take care of it.

Pearle Vision and most eye doctors offer a "kleenex" like box of tissues (almost like paper towels) that are made for this. They don't scratch the lens or leave a dusty residue on the glasses and are like $2-4 a box. I use nothing else.

clean them with a soft material, like a cotton shirt, or get one of those wipey things the eye doctors gives if he decides on not being cheap.

Dont use wood based products always use soft cloth, small fibers of wood can scratch.
