You can use Windex or any screen/glass cleaner and it won't damage your laptop.

The official word on LCD cleaning in Apple manuals is to use a solution of diluted isopropyl alcohol, no more than a 50% solution. Usually the rubbing alcohol you buy at a drugstore is either 90% or 98% pure

I mix 1 part water and 1 part 90% isopropyl alcohol, which works out to... um.. something just under a 50% solution.

Be absolutely sure to use a very VERY soft cloth. I use a piece of soft flannel. Do NOT use paper towels or anything more abrasive than an old worn out cotton Tshirt.

Absolutely do NOT use windex or anything with ammonia in it, it can etch the screen surface and can cause the plastic to go cloudy. You don't want that to happen!

BTW, there is a commercial cleaning solution called something like Klear-Screen, it's pretty expensive. It is a 50% solution of isopropyl alcohol and water. Just like I make, for a fraction of the cost.
good luck

Yeah what i do is just spray REALLY lightly some sort of standard cleaning spray for work surfaces or something on a dry clean cloth and then wipe it over the screen. Its not damaging at all and works a treat!
