    Use a microfiber cloth.

    A soft microfiber cloth and some screen-cleaning liquid should work. Most electronics retailers stock them.

    Rubbing alcohol works pretty good. You could try vodka, but that's for the user, not the screen.

    I know cleaning solutions may be the best, but when I'm in a hurry and on the go, I use my breath to produce condensation on the screen, then wipe with a microfiber cloth. Hey, it works.

    I highly recommend the OptiMist Prime by ShaggyMac. Its biggest winning point is no streaks, and streaks are my BIGGEST pet peeve when it comes to screen cleaners. Nothing comes close to the OptiMist Prime from what I've tried (Monster, iKLEAR).
