How to clean N900 panel?
 
Which is the best way to clean the N900 panel? Which are yours experiences?
I use something (usally a cloth) smooth and wet, but it doesn't really clean it.

I use sunglasses cleaner, and a glasses cleaning cloth, works fine for me :)

Good quality microfiber. I use one that i got with my lenses (Hoya). Its really fine and seems to work really efficiently.

Good point about the fluid but it soon evapourates.

Some paper cloths have hard fibres that can scratch plastic lenses so they should be avoided or used as a last resort on the N900 screen.

Cotton cloths or microfibre are best for avoiding scratches along with lens cleaning spray.

Some mobile shops also sell a cleaning kit with spray for disinfecting the phone as well.

forgot to mention that i mean very soft and fine cloths - which can be used for cleaning sensitive surfaces too.

the cloth which comes packed with the n900 seems to be a good choice to for cleaning in first instance. i wonder if i can use it with eyeglasses cleaner and may wash it?! ^^

I put on a temporary horrible screen protector until I got my nice clearprotector in the post. Anyway when I removed the temp one it left a sticky residue that a microfibre cloth would not move. I used 50% isopropyl alcohol and water and that still did not do it as it left smears. So I got brave and used 100% isopropyl alcohol and it worked a treat. It removed the icky stuff and left the screen like new. It evaporated itself with no smears and did not damage the screen at all. It really is great stuff. Then I just wiped it down with the supplied cloth and it was as clean as clean before putting on the clear protector.

I dry-clean it with a damn good microfibre cloth... It takes time, but it ends up looking as good as new... for the next 5 minutes :D

Just make sure you don't press too hard, not that you'll break the screen (you'd have to press really hard for that), but if some sand particle is on the screen you might scratch it while cleaning... First couple of swipes should be feather-light...
