Another item you will need in cleaning an LCD screen is a soft cloth. This can be pretty much any soft material such as an old tee shirt, or old flannel type shirt. Never use paper towels, or any paper product. Also something that is highly recommended is buying micro cloths which you can get at most retail stores or online.

You should also purchase a small spray bottle. This way you can pre-make and store your LCD cleaning solution and use it whenever you need it. Instead of having to mix it each and every time you need it.
