Do not use Windex or anything like that to clean your laptop screen. Instead, you should use 3M Notebook Screen Cleaning Wipes, which you can get from Comp USA. I have those wipes, and it works great! I would highly recommend them.

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.
General Maintenance
You should avoid subjecting your LCD Screen display to extreme temperatures and humidity and avoid exposures to direct sunlight. You should also avoid physical shocks to your display. If you have a notebook, then you should avoid stacking books or other objects upon the notebook with the screen closed etc.

read the laptop manufacturer directions first in your owners manual. there are two products I can suggest. For dusting and anti-static theres a brand called "fellowes" www.fellowes.com also pledge makes a multisurface cleaner thats ok for electronics. I have use this on my computer screen and TV with no ill effects. my bottle of fellowes screen wipes dried out. I just recommned spraying the pledge product onto a clean cloth first before wiping screen. I get good results with my microfiber cloths

Use a soft cloth and plain water.
Most things you get on your screen are water soluable. Things like soda spray or coffee splashes come right off.
Give water a chance before trying anything else. You can also use specialized cleaners and/or wipes that you find at Staples, etc.
Don't use anything with alcohol or ammonia!!!!!
Hope this helps.

Here's what I use.
An old 100% cotton T-Shirt and Isopropyl 70% alcohol.
Your mileage may vary.

Cotton or Silk Cloth. Works good with me. Use very little water on it though and unless it has glass, dont use windex...
