sprayed on a cloth or paper towel.You have to take care in what you use....

I've heard that most LCD cleaners are just water and some rubbing alcohol and it's easy to make it yourself.

Just a damp cloth that's soft, and non abrasive...haha and windex, you're kidding right? Maybe you've watched 'my big fat greek wedding' a little too often.
