Go to a computer store and get monitor cleaner. Don't use Windex or anything like that!

Bounty works just fine. I've been using that tactic for a long time without any damage to my LCDs. Microfibre towels are better. Yes. But not everyone has these things "in stock" at home.

I got the monster cable plasma cleaning set, For $10 you get a nice micro towel with plenty of good cleaning solution. The stuff lasts forever.

Look on Ebay.

400 grit sandpaper and some bleach is what I would not recommend.

I use Cinch and Microfibre...works like a charm.
