Default Cleaing Screen?

I was looking at my iPhone recently and noticed a lot of finger print smears on the screen, and was wondering how to clean it and prevent the problem in the future?

Are you using the cleaning cloth that came with it?

If it was new it did. A black microfiber cleaning cloth should be folded up in the black packaging that separated the iphone from the dock, usb cable, and wall charger. I think the manual was folded up in there too.

It came with a cleaning cloth, of that I'm positive.

The black cardboard packaging was folded neatly and held the cleaning cloth, an apple decal, and some paperwork. Check your box again. Do you remember the apple decal?

Go to wal-mart, Gamestop, or some kind of Eye Glass store and their bound to have a cloth called a "Micro-Fiber" cloth
-Most electronics with "big" or exposed screens these days come with micro-fiber cloths, and do a very good job of cleaning fingerprints and smudges, although you may need to add a drop or two of rubbing alcohol on a few occasions
