Microfiber cloth slightly and I do mean slightly dampen with water. I also use a very soft makeup brush to remove dust.

I use lens wipes that I bought from Costco. They are a soft material (unlike the ones I bought at Target, which are more paper-like) and I like them a lot.

After I clean my glasses, if I'm not near one of my kids, I'll clean whatever touchscreen is closest to me at that moment -- my phone, my tablet, the screen in my car. I haven't taken one out specifically for cleaning a screen, but I seem to always be near one that needs it when I have one in hand. We seem to be able to get quite a lot of use out of each sheet!

I use the same lens wipes from Costco that sakura-panda uses. I usually clean at least 3 or 4 different screens with one wipe--sometimes a pair of sunglasses as well. I've been using these for a number of years and they seem to work well without causing any screen damage.

I use a can of air to blow any debris off my glasses and all screens before cleaning.

MagicFiber Microfiber Cleaning Cloths are outstanding. The manufacturer talks up the softness but it's the structure of the weave that sets these clearly above anything else I've tried.

I just use a damp cloth on the ereader. I use a baby wipe on the tablets and everything else but the computer screen. Baby wipes streak on that.

And, what do you do if you are near one of your kids? Use a kid to clean the screen?

Wipe'N Clear from Costco. Between glasses and laptops and tablets, we go through it like crazy! Can't believe a family of three (now two) goes through a 225 box in under a year.

LOL

I look to see who has the dirtiest glasses and I pass it on.

Sometimes it seems like this is the only time they clean their glasses, even though I've given them all their own microfiber cloths and handfuls of the wipes.

I just use water from the kitchen faucet and a paper towel to clean my glasses. The eyeglass people are always amazed how well and long my coatings last. They are then astounded when I tell them what I use. My Mom uses the glasses wipes though, so someone in the house does something like most of you do. Does that count?

I repair broken eyeglass frames and I am constantly surprised at how nasty some of the frames are. Nose pieces are the worst, especially when they are coated in a green slime. Most people bathe every day and wear clean clothes, but their jewelry, watches and eyeglasses can have years of filth on them. The next time you watch professional chefs on TV check and see if they are wearing rings while they prep raw meat. More of them do it than you think and washing their hands does not get contaminated food particles out of their rings.
