Default Cleaning LCD Screens

In reading both my Garmin and Simrad manuals they say not to use cleaners that have ammonia, alcohol, abrasives or anti-grease detergents as they will harm the anti-glare coating. So what can I use?

I even checked out the two products I use on my laptop screens and they are alcohol based.

My new Northstar m121 came with 3 packets. they are called Electro wipes and are a non alcohol
buffing pad. And in the manual, it says to use these for cleaning the screen.
Simrad, Lowrance and Northstar are all from the same company.
