A little water on a soft cloth. Alcohol or other solvents may make it eventually turn yellow or cloudy!!!

well, i've been using the alcholol and water on the screen for going on three years. so far now problems. does anyone give an explanation about why this should be a problem?

The plastic coating on some LCDs has a chemical reaction with alcohol which can make it cloudy or yellowed with repeated exposure.

You may be lucky, may not clean it too often, or have a lappy that uses a different kind of plastic.

But you can be 100% positively sure that a slightly damp cloth will not harm the screen in any way, ever.
