TFT screens are very delicate and not advisable to apply much pressure to avoid screen damage. Spray some mild dish washing liquid in lukewarm water. Then dip a soft, micro fiber cloth in this water and wring it out thoroughly. With this moist micro fiber cloth, even toughest dirt marks will be gone from the flat screen surface, without having to apply too much pressure. Then wipe the screen with soft tissue paper immediately.
Do you have any other method? Please share.

I use the same product as for my eye glasses. It was written on the bottle that this product is good for eye glasses as well as computer monitors.
I am generally afraid when I clean the monitor as i know that it is very sensitive, so I don't clean it so often.

Hi Ronimas I always love your tips. They save me money!
I might sound silly here as everybody knows what is a TfT screen. I don't know what TfT means? I have a laptop and we also have a Desk Top computer with a flat screen? Does TfT mean flat screen?
Anyway both computers are new and I have never cleaned the screens yet because I was afraid to scratch them. Thank you so much for this tip! I will clean my screen tomorrow!

Votreamie, it's Ok. Nobody knows everything. Thast's why we discuss here. TFT and flat screen monitors are more or less same.
The full form of TFT is Thin Film Transistor and it is a type of LCD flat-panel display screen where each pixel is controlled by one to four transistors. It provides the best resolution in flat-panel technology. Some people call it active-matrix LCD or TFT LCD or TFTAMLCD.
The CRT [cathode ray tube]monitors also have flat screen, but the difference in respect to delicacy, TFT screens are especially susceptible to scratches where as CTR flat screens are scratch proff due to hard surface.
In view to above, I would like to say that all the laptops have TFT display screen. For your desktop, it's now your turn to find which type of screen does it contain as it is beyond my vision. So sorry friend.

Well I just got my TfT screen with my new computer. And when I bought it the man told me to use windex wipes to clean it. But your way is also useful thanks for sharing it.
