Some rubbing alcohol and a very soft cloth should do it.

I use those Windex wipes. Then you dont have to worry about spraying anything on the monitor and the moisture getting down in the cracks and ruining it. Just wipe it over the screen and it's clean.

I am weird, I clean my keyboard and mouse with rubbing alcohol pads and my desk with Lysol wipes. That was before I found about that story about the bathroom. Dirty computer equipment has always bothered me. I have scrubbed old beige monitors with Comet cleaner..works real good!

spray a little windex on a soft cloth, and clean it till there are no streaks, do not spray the windex on the screen, if it an lcd monitor, just use a damp cloth damp with water onluy, do not spray any glass cleaner on it, if it is really dirty, fo to an electronics store and get the right kind of cleaner for it

Pick up a can of "dust off" it is compressed air.  If the dust got in, it should be able to be blown out, or at least off to the side where it isn't in your drawing.  I personally would just dissassemble the screen carefully.  They do come apart.  But, if you are not sure of yourself.. then I would try the air.  It is non conductive, non abrasive and should do the job for under $5 and a few seconds.\nGood luck.. TonyD

What type of surface do you have your laptop on?  Remember, laptops are designed to be on laps and not tables.  Try placing risers under the laptop so that there is some air flow under the laptop as well. \n  You are also correct about having to clean the laptops.  Here is a link with step by step instructions on how to clean a VAIO.\n\n\nGood Luck

Use a soft cotton cloth or tissue for the screen and use a blower to clean the internal dust without removing the cover of the CRT.

Put 50% alcohol, and 50% water into a spray bottle. Use a clean, dry cloth, and spray it onto the cloth. Rub it on the screen, and it does a great job. Don't use any window cleaners, on a LCD monitor, they are not made of glass, and you could damage it. I got this tip, from Kim Komando, and have been doing it, for two years now..

Stains on the screen?  I don't know about that.\n\nYou may be able to use (like) "Ajax with bleach" on plasic parts.  (Dab it onto a damp cloth or sponge and rub over stain.  Rinse well.)

The same eyeglass-cleaning solution sold by optometrists (and the lint free cloths) work fine on LCD screens.\n\nDon't use paper towels or harsh cleaners like Windex/Forumla 409.

personally, i turn it off, wait for it to cool down and then just use a normal duster on it, but dont put any pressure on the screen.\n\n"A standard yellow duster is normally suitable. Really stubborn fingerprints and biro marks should be treated with care since pressure on the screen could damage the liquid crystal cell behind. If it's all getting too much, you can try spraying some screen cleaning fluid onto the cleaning cloth (avoiding having free liquid slopping about) and gently buff the screen."\n\nDONT PUT LIQUID DIRECTLY ONTO THE SCREEN

Here are some ideas to look at:\n\nSoft cloth, anti-static cloth, water, specialized screen cleaner, microfiber cleaning cloths\n\nTechnique:\n\n1. Conventional wisdom is that you should only clean a screen with a damp cloth, as many screens have an anti-glare coating that you risk damaging if you use a harsh household cleaner. Even traditional window cleaners can damage some coatings and screens, especially on laptop computers. Always check your manual.\n\n2. Screen wipes are also available which are also great for the keyboard and general cleaning. Wipe your screen first, then the keyboard, mouse, and casing. Stop your computer from getting dirty in the first place by having them handy to wipe the grease off your fingers after eating junk food. \n\n3. If you are using just a damp cloth to wipe the screen, be sure to dry it off as well to prevent streaking.\n\n4. When cleaning the monitor casing use a soft cloth with your cleaning fluid. Always spray onto the cloth, not the equipment!\n\n5. Antistatic sprays and other specialty cleaning chemicals are very common, and are formulated so they will not cause damage to even the most sensitive screens. Their effectiveness is questioned by some, but others swear by them. The theory is that as the product cleans it leaves a neutral charge, whereas a positive or negative charge will attract dust. The effectiveness is likely more a result of environment, but considering the insignificant cost it is probably worth it.\n\nMy favorite is using a good microfiber cloth slightly damp on one side and polishing clean with the dry side, I really never use chemical.  The microfiber cloths are really great that way.

OOPS! Your keyboard inards are made of mylar (plastic film). If the pop has gotten into the film layers it needs to be disassembled. The mylar layers can be cleaned with a very mild soapy water. I wouldnt use alcohol as it may remove the circuit trace. Laptops are a PAIN to disassemble. Find someone who knows how to do this.
