How are you cleaning your monitors?

Got myself the Alienware AW3418DW monitor this week and whilst looking for dead pixels using a microfiber cloth on suspect pixels (dirt) I noticed later when the monitor was turned off lighter smudges I guess where I had been with the cloth.

I was reading to use a damp microfiber cloth and to gently rub the monitor whilst powered off to clean it but it always appears slightly lighter where I have been with the cloth, also I notice a few little circle spots.

These smudges and effected areas are not visible in everyday use and only noticeable if I shine a torch to it whilst powered off, however I would like to be able to clean it as new, just not sure the correct way or what exactly to use? Guessing I need some screen cleaner or something, its an IPS panel if that makes any difference.

So what do you folks use to get a nice clean? I'm kind of apprehensive to clean it any more since it leaves lighter areas.

Thanks
