Cleaning iPhone Screen

According to the advice provided by Apple: Cleaning your iPhone - Apple Support

• "Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth—for example, a lens cloth."

I have also found that a soft clean cotton t-shirt also does a great job.

I don't like those kind of cleaning cloths with the "dobby" fabric. When something gets trapped in them they don't release easily. If I've got something like a minor fingernail break they'll snag.

It's been a while, but I remember a microfiber cleaning cloth that came with my MacBook in 2007. That was a smooth and soft to the touch. You can find that kind where eyeglass cleaning supplies are sold.

I don't know if the first one (the one I looked at) is really called "dobby", but it's the closest word I could think of. I think of that meaning a fabric with a lot of bumps. I've bought that kind before, and they do pick up a lot of dirt, but then it gets stuck inside and I've even heard of whatever was trapped in the fabric then causing scratches. They'll also snag on all sorts of things.

I looked at the second one, and that's more the style I think is recommended. Smoother and easier to shake out any dirt. That type also polishes better.
