Note that the "alcohol" should be 70% ispropyl rubbing alcohol. Don't use
*denatured* rubbing alcohol! That stuff has acetone in it. I shudder to
think what that could do to the plastics.
Mix the 70% ispropyl with water 50-50 and dampen the cloth. It should be a
soft 100% cotton cloth.
You don't really need fancy microfiber cloths. A plain soft 100% cotton
dishtowel is fine. I like the bumpy kind from India--I always keep one in my
computer bag. For light everyday cleanup, a bit of breath fog on the screen
and then wiping it with the towel does a fine job.
