Use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth. It is also safe to use isopropyl alcohol 70% or iKlear on the enclosure parts. Remove any surface dirt gently with your bare hand before proceeding with a cleaner and cloth. After cleaning, dry the plastic or aluminum with a soft, lint-free cloth.

I use pledge and a paper towel. The trick is to spray a lot on at once and clean in big motions. Make sure you go in like, horizontal swipes, and lift the paper towel only when you're on the black border outlining the screen (otherwise you'll leave annoying little glumps of dirt specs and cleaning solution on the glass infront of the LCD).

Wow.

For most screens, a damp lint-free cloth to moisten it and get some of the crap off, then a dry one to dry and remove the rest of the crap. Works wonders on my glossy Dell screen, matt Dell screen, iPod, Phone etc.

I have special Apple cleaner and it works awesome on anything but the screen. My mom also got an iMac for Christmas, it won't be set-up for a bit but I can't wait to use the magic mouse!

Tried it and I find an actual paper towel gets more off the glass:P

I just use the cloth that came with it, does a good enough job.
