Your best choice is isopropyl alcohol and the clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Packaged screen cleaner wipes are also good (since they're basically a convenient disposable version of this).
Avoid ethanol, rubbing alcohol, and bleach, which can damage the monitor's surface. For the best results, clean your screen with a slightly dampened cloth, ideally a microfiber one—do not spray directly on the screen.
If your screen needs something stronger, mix ¼ cup distilled water and ¼ cup white vinegar in a spray bottle. If you don't have white vinegar, a ¼ cup of distilled water and a ¼ of rubbing alcohol will do the trick, too. This simple solution can be used on many household items, from windows to shower doors .
Using a baby wipe to clean a flat screen TV will leave a residue on the screen and is NOT recommended. Consumer Reports recommends using a soft cloth dampened with distilled water (never sprayed) to clean a flat screen TV while the TV is turned off.

You can also use them to clean up smudges on glass surfaces like windows and mirrors. Baby wipes are also great for polishing your car's interior surfaces like the dashboard, steering wheel, and even the windows.

Don't use household disinfecting wipes on your computer screen. The same goes for your old T-shirts that you've saved from the last time you had to help a friend paint their walls. Save that for the next time you have to wipe down the bathtub, not your computer screens.
As for what to use, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published a list of recommended disinfectants and the CDC says to look for cleaning wipes with at least 70 percent alcohol to disinfect your phone and other surfaces.
While sanitizers are commonly used on hands and other surfaces to kill germs, they are typically alcohol-based, containing ingredients that might harm your screen's protective coating if applied improperly.
Yes, you can use a wet wipe to clean the computer keyboard. However, you should use disinfectant wipes and follow cleaning guidelines and instructions for best results. You should turn off the appliance before cleaning, squeeze excess liquid off the cleaning cloth, and avoid any products with bleach.
For fingerprints and smudges, spray 70% isopropyl alcohol onto a cloth, or use a pre-moistened alcohol wipe or a Clorox Disinfecting Wipe, to clean non-porous surfaces like the screen; do not use bleach. Wipe the glass surface and corners, being careful not to let any excess moisture wick from the wipe or cloth.
Using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipes on screens can be risky, and it's generally not recommended for most electronic devices, particularly those with sensitive displays, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and LCD/LED screens.
On top of this, the actual wipes or cloths can also scratch the screen. Even though pre-moistened baby wipes seem convenient, they're really not a good idea.
Common Ingredients in Baby Wipes
A mild mix of ingredients is necessary for a baby wipe considering its use on sensitive skin around the genitals and anus. The mildness is a benefit for facial use as well.
Keeping the anus clean can be difficult if you have persistent or severe diarrhea. This is especially true if the anus is sore and red. In such cases, you can use baby wipes or non-fragranced wet wipes that are gentler on the skin.
No, you should never use household cleaning products like window cleaners, ammonia-based solutions, or any harsh chemicals on your monitor screen.
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Gently wipe the screen in circular motions. For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth slightly moistened with distilled water. Ensure the cloth is not overly wet to prevent moisture from seeping into the edges of the screen.
Avoid using paper towels or regular cloths, as they may scratch the screen. For stubborn stains, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a 50/50 mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen. Wipe the screen in a circular motion and let it dry before turning the monitor back on.
