Hi Chela!
Isopropyl alcohol is better for cleaning than rubbing alcohol, because it
has no additives.

I use rubbing alcohol the one that isn't labeled with soapy ingredients,
use a cotton round for my PC monitor it looks great and doesn't leave any
streaks either.

I think it depends on the scanner. Many newer scanners, like the
OpticBook and newer Epsons and Canons, aren't really glass. They're
Plexiglas, and it's porous. Those scanners shouldn't be cleaned with any
liquid because the moisture will get trapped inside the Plexiglas and
will create little bubbles that will distort your scans. This is true of
modern laptop screens, monitors, and TVs too.
These scanners' instruction manuals say to clean them by wiping the
scanning area with a soft, static-free, lint-free cloth. You can either
buy these at a computer store, or you can make your own from an old pair
of cotton underwear or an old, white cotton T-shirt.
