Don't use an "around the house" cloth. The right tool for the job are
laboratory "Kimwipes". They are non-woven, truely lint-free wipes for
labware. I know of FE's who have cleaned RK packs with a squeeze bottle
of isopropyl (95%+ IIRC, not 70%) and Kimwipes.
Besides a chem lab, I don't know where to get them, but they are what you
want. I wish I had a box.

Kimwipes are now called Precision Wipes. They are manufactured by
Kimberly-Clark, hence the former name of Kim-wipes. At least, I think
these are the same thing.
There are also AccuWipe's from Fort James Corp. These say low-lint on
the box.
We go through many boxes of these at the University where I work. We
provide these along with refillable spray bottles of glass cleaner,
in the undergraduate computer labs. It never ceases to amaze me how many
people simply cannot use a computer without caressing the screen with
their fingertips. I guess they really* love computers...
