For me the best way to protect and clean your screen is simply go and buy a 17 dollar radtech screensavrz. These nice protective screen protector not only protect your screen, but you can use it to wipe clean and put a new shine back onto the screen. You can check the notebook and review section archive for a past review on the screen savrz. Here's the link to where you can buy one.

Yep, that's best. In the short term an alcohol swab is the way I'd go to get sneeze remnants off.

Like Brian said, use an alcohol swab to clean the sneeze, after that the best and also the safest/cheapest way to keep the LCD clean is to use a clean soft cloth(I use a hand wash cloth) and dampen a small part of it with water and wipe down the LCD. I then use the dry section of the cloth to dry off the LCD.
It works great!
Also avoid touching the LCD with you fingers.

thanks, the alchol worked great. I used a very light circular buffing action that i learned from karate kid. My LCD looks great now.

Over time, you might notice dust or fingerprints on your LCD screen. As they become more and more noticeable, you will surely want to clean them off. As long as you follow a few guidelines, you can easily clean your screen without any harm to it.
Canned air is a great cleaning device. Make sure you always hold the can upright and gently blow the air onto the screen to remove any dust particles. Most often, this will get rid of most of the dust. For smudge marks or fingerprints, you will need to wipe the screen. First and foremost, do not use a paper towel. As soft as they might seem to you, they are abrasive and over time will scratch your screen. Find a soft cotton cloth, or an electrostatic cloth used to clean eyeglasses. Always wipe in one direction (usually top to bottom). Do not use Windex or any other solvents that contain ammonia or ethyl alcohol, as these will cause your screen to turn yellow. There are several commercial products available*, or if you want, you can use just plain water or water mixed with a tiny bit of vinegar or isopropyl alcohol.
