    Hi,

    I clean it with a soft dry cloth - not sure if that is the correct way but has kept mine sparkling!

    Hope that helps

    Do:

    Use a soft microfibre cloth slightly damp, and another one to dry
    Buy a proper alcohol free kit

    Don't:

    Use Windowlene and Kitchen Roll
    Use anything with alcohol in or it'll strip the coating off the panel
    Use too much pressure when touching the panel itself

    Why should you not use kitchen roll? I use a slightly damp kitchen roll with a bit of fairy liquid and it's fine.

    The fibres are very abrasive and can scratch and damage the coating on the screen

    >dries out quickly
    Thats the alcohol!

    Pro laptop screen cleaner has 50% alcohol and 50% water. Dont buy it, what I use, an alcohol spray can onto a wetted fibre cloth, so 50/50 innit.

    To clean a glass screen a soft tissue, wet and -half- a drop of washing up liquid, one drop being too much. Wipe (using a damp tissue) to a drying the screen, if down properly it drys instantly a damp tissue passes over it, leaving nice and shiny, if not do it again.

    Laptop cleaner shouldn't have alcohol in it though as it will damage the layers :S
