Terry... if it's the screen on your 60D you don't have to worry as I'm fairly sure it's glass not plastic. If I'm wrong whatever the screen is made of is hard, I've had my 60D for 17 months and no scratches... I clean mine with the moist tissues that I clean my specs with.

As with camera lenses apply cleaning solutions sparingly to the cloth not the screen in order to avoid them seeping under the monitor screen frame.

 

In the case of camera lenses:-

 

"Alcohol or lens-cleaning fluid should never be applied directly onto the lens surface. Doing so can possibly harm the lens coatings and/or compromise the adhesives that hold the lens elements in place."

 

This is for the same reason that surplus fluid applied directly to the lens could work it's way under rim holding the elements and into the lens itself.
