Best way to clean dust off the K20d focussing screen?
I use the artic butterfly and that works quite well for both aslong as it is just dust, won't do too much with it.
Since the dust doesn't affect the photos you take I'd leave well alone.
I wouldn't touch the mirror as I wouldn't wish to disrupt the fine balance

If you MUST clean it then treat it as you did the LX, but don't use Mr Sheen as Karl suggests, the dish washer maybe...
K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.
Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...
PPG entries.
The screen scratches easily, as I found out when mine fell out into the mirror box earlier this year!

That's the point, the LX was built like a Sherman tank so I was less fearful. I am hoping the K7 will inherit some of that invincibility - that would be nice.

This applies to all SLRs though, the LX included, so it's not the case that the DSLRs are more vulnerable in this respect.
The screens are very soft and should not be touched. The mirror assembly can easily be knocked out of register and should also be left well alone.

I was just talking about general handling but I agree

As everyone as pointed out however if they are minor I would leave them as they don't affect your images.
