A soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth should be sufficient:

The cloths that they use for cleaning glasses work well.

A soft, dry cloth such as a cotton T-shirt will handle nearly
everything. You might also try such a cloth dampened with water very
slightly, followed by the same soft, dry cloth. Avoid excess rubbing.

The iPad glass is described as being oleophobic, which is a term
meaning "fearing yodelers." It also means "repels oil (such as that
found on human skin)."

I have found that a great way to keep the iPad display clean is to use
one of these <https://www.wacom.com/en/Store/Bamboo-for-iPad.aspx>.

I purchased the iKlear spray that comes with it's own special cloth. I
use it on my iPad 2, iPod touch, and my iMac screen. It was recommended
and was on sale at my local Apple Store.

I use a soft cotton or microfiber cloth. Nothing else needed, as long as hard
grit isn't the problem.

The screen's surface is fairly oleophobic, on purpose.

I always thought oleophobia was "a fear of door-to-door salesmen."

I thought it was a fear of oleo -- that "margarine" stuff we had when I
was a kid! :-)

No. Think of it this way. Oleophobia--the fear of yodeling--is a
medically recognized syndrome. But fear of oleomargarine is something
that every human being normally has. It's like having two hands;
there's no name for that in pathology because it's the norm.

It was David Pogue, NYT Technology columnist, Renaissance Man, and
yodeling pathology expert, who first identified oleophobia.

Now now. Anyway, Mr. Pogue used the word the way you did - in an ironic
onomatopoeic way.

Anyway, a fear of yodel(l)ing women has bee called Xenaphobia, although
that seems a bit precious.

Homogeminoleophobia is a fear of yodel(l)ing lesbian twins, usually from
New Zealand. I know you're gonna look that up ...
