Is there anything I can do to prevent fingerprints on a touchscreen?

Some cleaning products claim that they reduce the amount of dirt that will stick to your screen. But a plastic cover works excellent and leaves little residue!

For some devices, adhesive-backed clear plastic protective screens are sold to protect the screen from scratches, and these protective screens may also be fingerprint-resistant. Additionally, microfiber cloths can be purchased to wipe the screen frequently and remove both the oil from fingertips, and the dust that 'sticks' to that oil, creating visible fingerprints.

A screen protector will still leave fingerprints on your screen. It is very hard to do but I'd recommend keeping your hands clean.

There are many cleaning products that claim to reduce the amount of dirt and debris that will stick to your screen. I find that getting a plastic cover works best and leaves little residue like cleaning products can.

If you want to keep fingerprints off the actual screen of a device, the best way is to apply a screen protector that is cut to fit the device. TOuching a screen will ultimately result in fingerprints and the only way to stop that would be to wear gloves.

There is a liquid that hospitals use for cleaning laser lens before and after each use. This lens cleaner is made by Volk and works great.

Really aside from using a stylus or wearing gloves there is a lot you can do. There may be people that sell screen protector that are more fingerprint resistant but they can still show up.
