Somehow I've managed to get about forty fingerprint smudges all over my
laptop screen. What would you suggest to clean this? I've tried water
and a damp cloth but it just smears and ultimately looks worse...

A relatively inexpensive and repeatable solution would be most
preferable.

Water works, a barely damp cloth.

It would, you have to clean it on a regular basis, you need a good
quality cleaning cloth and with very light pressure (remember barely
damp) wipe the same area for several minutes. It may take a few days to
remove some marks, doing just a little at a time. Also work in 1
direction only say up/down not circular.

You may also get away with just a tiny bit of very mild washing up
(diskes) liquid soap or a tiny bit of plain hand soap to get started.
Although you should check what the manufacturer says, and do some
searching with www.google.com

I've been using a spray on household window cleaner with paper towels for
years on my laptop screen. Does this mean I have to buy a new laptop??

I find that one of those 'microfibre' cloths with the soft/course texture
(look a bit woolly) works very well. Dry, to remove loose dust, then damp
to shift the more stubborn stuff. Only ever use the very lightest touch -
be patient, and eventually the marks will go. Do make sure that there is
no grit in the cloth!
