I didn't laugh ... I use the cleaning wipes from KFC.. they're designed to get grease off .. the alcohol evaporates really quickly and I figured if they're gentle enough for hands my laptop would be ok.

On my dell screen they work brilliantly.

(this is my law degree talking)
I do of course accept NO responsibility for a problems/damage that may occur if you choose to try them. And nor I expect would KFC!!!

You should use anti-static wipes only really.

I found the computer screen wipes work brilliantly on my LCD screen connected to my desktop PC which has a shiny face to the screen, yet on my laptop screen that has a matt surface they left a heck of a lot of streaks...

I just use a damp cloth and that does the trick for my laptop.

Wet bog roll works, then wipe it off with some dry bog roll.

PC World sell a little tub on wipes especially for LCD, monitor screens, etc. They work fine.

just avoid products containing alcohol, as this can be bad for the screen long term apparently.

Erm, I wouldn't suggest furniture polish! The notebook manufacturer I used to work for sent 15000 machines a year out using Windowlene and a duster though, both from repairs and assembly. It is fine for it, but spray it onto the duster and not directly onto the screen

Nah, it's just closer (the bathrooms next door). I'd use kitchen roll but that'd mean going downstairs.

Man I'm a lazy git.

Don't bother with "Screen-Clene" Antistatic Screen and Filter Wipes - they're useless. In a tub, and I only ever used about three and then the rest dried out, and when I used them from new they just left a load of streaks and greasy finger marks didn't come off at all
