I was told by the guy in a phone shop that most phones just need a damp cloth across the screen at worst. I think they sell water-based cleaners in the phone shops too. It depends on the manufacturers recommendation a bit too. One brand is called Eco I think. Usually comes as a small kit for a coupla quid.
It doesn’t damage the screen, but can remove the oleophobic (anti-smudge) coating that most phones come with. It is damaged with use anyway, like a non-stick pan.
I wipe mine down with isopropyl on a paper towel daily.
Thats not good for the conductive layer of the screen. It can lead to problems with it after a while.
What is the best alternative?

After a while?
I’ve had my phoen for over 3.5 years (got it right when covid started) and have cleaned it daily with disinfectant and there are no issues.

About the coating
It’s okay; I’m only wiping down the case, which has a built-in screen protector. No alcohol is actually touching the screen.
Cool!
