Default Cleaning The ‘Ol Flatscreen

My flatscreen is getting pretty dusty I noticed and I was wondering what the heck you clean these things with. I’m guessing it ain’t soap and water. What do you guys use so you don’t wreck the screen when you clean it?

A "special" microfiber towel without any "fibers" and distilled or filtered water after I wipe the dust off:

I would only use a microfiber cloth slightly damp. That’s what the manual says.

I just rub one of my dogs across the screen. Works like a charm.

I wouldn’t know where to go to get a baby to wipe my screen with. Sounds like too much trouble.

You almost had me spew water over my computer screen.
