Cleaning the touchscreen

How does everyone clean the touchscreen? I know the manual says not to use any cleaners. But how do you get off smudge marks without a grease solvent, even a mild one like windex?

I was just curious about the different techniques people have used to clean their touchscreens and displays.

TIA

I use a little water on a microfiber cloth and it works just fine.

I do the same thing as Kwajtrader .

If there are stubborn smudge/oil marks I use some diluted dish soap.

Thanks for the replies. To those who use light solvents...is it correct to say that you didn't experience any damage to the display?

I just use a micro fiber cloth and that does the job. If you are worried about using light solvents you can always dampen the cloth with a small amount of distilled water.
