You can try just a very, very damp cloth. Seems to work fine for me.

One of the very first things I ever learned on this forum was a trick to clean the screen: transparent tape. Been doing it for months; it works great and does no damage to the screen that I can see.

Something else would be cashmere, or one of those cloths that don't leave lint but are really soft. Like the microfiber ones you get at walmart in the vision center for glasses lenses

i use a cleaning cloth that came free with my glasses. It's made of some material called microfiber i think and i have seen it for sale for cleaning camera lenses too. I wet the cloth thoroughly and then very carefully wipe the screen, rinsing the cloth often in between to make sure there is no sand or other abraisive stuff around that could cause scratches. I have done this every few days for over two years and the screen doesn't have a single scratch.

Micro fiber cloth. I ruined a 7520 using other than a micro fiber cloth. After a while is wore the "matte" finish off the screen and left small shiney spots.
