Keep It Dry, Keep It Clean

Clean your Kindle screen with a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth such as a chamois or a soft cotton T-shirt. The Kindle Fire User's Guide specifically says not to get the screen wet or use any liquids on it, as it could damage the screen or cause electric shock. Harsh cleaners might also remove any smudge protective coatings that come with the Kindle device.
