eyeglass cleaner to clean their iPad Pro screen?

Has anyone used eyeglass cleaner on their iPad Pro? The Apple site warns against window cleaner, and anything with peroxide.

IVe been using a soft soft flannel cloth lightly dampened with water and it works fairly well, but it takes a LOT of rubbing and I'm afraid this will damage the touch sensitive surface. Is the surface "refinishable", or do you need to have the screen repalaced when non-responsive to Apple Penci, etc.?

iPad Pro 9.7-inch WiFi, iOS 10.2.1

Touch surface is behind the glass, so no fear of damaging it.

But the surface of the glass has coatings for anti glare and against finger prints smudges. If you use harsh chemicals they can remove these coatings.

Best to use water and microfiber cloth.

Surface is not refinisheable. Only thing Apple can do is replace the whole screen assembly.
