In the US there are two products I reccomend, Bounty makes a paper 
towel specifically for glass, it's on a roll and has a blue quilt 
pattern on it. It's not 100% lint free but it's /far/ better than a 
standard paper towel. It also does not leave residue - I've found many 
paper towels will leave residue on metal if used with IPA or acetone 
that causes as many problems as whatever was originally contaminating 
the board. The blue ones do not do this.

Windex has now come out with disposable microfiber cloths. These are 
also 100% lint free. They're usually found with the 'swiffer' cloths 
since they're in a box. They're also reusable. I found them rather 
useless for cleaning glass because they're /so/ non-abrasive that 
anything that might be really gummed up on the window will not come 
off. I prefer the Bounty paper towels for actual glass cleaning, but 
the Windex ones might be better for this application.
