My camera now has chalk all over the grippy part - was near Dover today, picked up some chalk, and then the camera without thinking....Heh! My "worst" dirty 30D body experience came from a situation involving a girlfriend and peanut butter -- details left to the imagination Tony

Do not touch focusing screen with anything other than blast of air from the blower. You can run them under distilled water and let them air dry - but you are correct. Don't touch them or you can whack the texturing (for lack of a better word) that makes them work. Obsessive Gear List

As i have said there is two sides to the screen.The side which is facing down towards the mirror when sat in the frame is the glass side, and that is the side i cleaned(with no trouble).BUT the other side is where the focus point markings are inprinted and its sort of ruff, I DID NOT clean that side.

.BUT you can't use it straight out of the box, as everything is in "standard", so some of the settings and custom settings nead to be set-up to your liking.Once done its awesome.
