I know that for what goes to cleaning cloth, it needs to be one which does NOT leave stuff behind when it cleans (not recalling exactly the name).. What about the liquid? which one is the best one to clean the screen? Non-abrasive one, without ammonia and all those requirements to not damage the screen?

Thanks in advance!
 
How to clean Apple products
Apple also gives instructions on how to clean your Mac in the User Guides for the MBA, MBP and iMac:
Cleaning your Mac
When cleaning the outside of your Mac and its components, first shut down your Mac, and then unplug the power adapter. Then use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the Mac exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do not spray liquid directly on the computer. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish.
Cleaning the Mac screen
To clean your Mac screen, first shut down your Mac and unplug the power adapter. Then use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
Also, you'll find plenty of suggestions by searching through the many existing threads on this topic, such as these:
 

Thanks!
So no liquid at all? I saw one with very good reviews on amazon Iklear I think...
Do you guys just use water?

I just use a bit of water to slightly dampen a soft cloth. Never needed anything more.
