What do you all use for screen cleaning that helps to reduce or prevent fingerprints? Or is this even possible? I’m thinking it’s almost an oxymoron - why would a cleaner want to prevent fingerprints which in turn reduces the need for it?

But anyway, if you have a tip that works best for you, please post.

At this point I swap between iKlear and Whoosh and feel they both do a decent job cleaning but do nothing to prevent fingerprints from reappearing.
 
I'm not sure there is a way to prevent fingerprints. I generally use a rubber tipped pencil like stick on my iPad Pro 10.5 inch model which keeps my fingers off the screen. A bit harder to use on my iPhone 7+ because of the smaller screen size. As for cleaning both screens, I use a lens cleaner solution and a very soft tissue or you can use lens cleaning tissues. You can buy the lens cleaner solution and cleaning tissues at any Walmart eye center which most of the super Walmart stores have.
