http://www.pixelclean.com works very well. It's not expensive and lasts a long time. Dont use anything with ammonia or alcohol, for these can damage the lcd screen.
Also, avoid paper towels - use a micro fiber cloth. PixelClean sells a kit that has everything you need.

Cleaning Your LCD Screen
The major computer outlet stores are now starting to carry LCD cleaners for Flat Panel Monitors and Notebooks that do not contain the chemicals found in some commercial glass cleaners. These cleaners will definitely do the job nicely, but you do have to purchase them. If you do not wish to purchase these factory made cleaners, then you can clean your LCD Screen in the following manner.
What You Can Use
Water.
Water with a tiny amount of soft liquid soap.
Isopropyl Alcohol.
Hexane.
Petroleum Benzine.
Commercial glass cleaners that do not contain ammonia.
What You Should Avoid
Acetone.
Ammonia.
Ethyl acid.
Ethyl Alcohol.
Methyl chloride.
Toluene.
Commercial glass cleaners containing ammonia.
How You Should Do It
You should clean your LCD Screen display by applying the cleaner to a soft, clean cloth. Then you should wipe the cloth across the display from left to right, moving from the top of the display down to the bottom of the display. If your display contains grease or some other contaminant, then you should dampen your cloth with water instead of a commercial cleaner as the cleaner may smear the contaminants across the screen.

The cloths made for this purpose can be expensive, so if you wear glasses just use the cloth that came with them. If needed just add a very tiny bit of moisture and dab dry do not rub. Never use anything that could cause damage to the very easily damaged screen.

Don't use anything that's paper - tissues, kitchen towels etc. - as the woodpulp will eventually damage the screen coating. A clean, soft, lint-free and ONLY JUST moist cloth does the trick, followed by gentle buffing with another soft cloth.
The trick is not to rub, just wipe gently, and not to allow any liquid to run into the machine.
Hope this helps

Turn the LCD completely off and clean it with rubbing alcohol. Then wait 5 minutes before turning the laptop back on.
Safest way.
P.S. Remember to damp a piece of cloth. Do not throw the alcohol. directly on the screen.

Just go for specialised wipes they're readyly available and you know its safe to use cause its made for that purpose. And it doesn't break the bank, you can get value ones that do the same job. Most probably its the same thing from the same factory but with a simple white branding rather than ott branding.
Good luck

We just use some glasses cleaner and a cloth to clean glasses with. Spray the cleaner on the cloth not the screen

I just use a damp cloth without any cleaning solution then use a dry cloth to clear away any residue.
