    Any microfiber cloth will do. They're very inexpensive.

    i use screen cleaning wipes that can be purchased from any office supply or electronics store. but i prefer to spray windex on my paper towel and use that to wipe my screen because it doesn't leave any visible chemicals behind like most screen cleaning wipes out there. i've been using windex on my m7700, xps 1710 and xps 1330 and haven't run into any problems thus far :). just make sure you have second sheet of towel ready to wipe any liquid left on the screen.
