For some reason of late my S24 Ultra screen gets filthy dirty with fingerprints etc and I was wondering if there were any cloths that you'd recommend me using that would help minimise this from happening. 
Cheers in advance.

It won't prevent this from happening but I'd suggest a micro fiber cloth. 

What's happening is the fingerprint repellant coating called the Oleophobic coating is wearing away ,which unfortunately you can't replace. 

You could fit a tempered glass screen protector from Spigen or Whitestone Dome that has that coating on it but in time that will wear away too @mattb 

Other glass screen protector options are available but as I use the top two mentioned thise are the ones I'd recommend. 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

I would also recommend a bottle of reading glasses cleaning spray, used lightly with a micro fibre cloth removes grease and dirt very well.

What I use is similar to those leather type buffing cloths you use for cars works great. I'm not too impressed with the oleophobic coating on S24 Ultra it doesn't work great after 3 months it's quite pathetic. These coatings usually at least last a good year or should do. In my experience they stay coated well within a year then start wearing. Samsung coating are rubbish and I don't know why. Water drops off it nicely but smudges are awful

This is by far the worst screen I've ever had from Samsung. It needs cleaning 4 or 5 times a day at least and as soon as you touch it the fingerprint is so visible it's like the crime programs when they're dusting for prints. I hope they improve it for the S25 range as this is awful.

I'm sooo upset- I had a note 10 for years and loved it, wish I never paid the big money for this terrible smeared screen phone - the note 10 screen was never dirty, also I sent my note 10 in for $400 rebate and they ripped me off and only gave me 200 for a perfectly fine note 10, I always have used samsung for my business but my employees wonder why I wasn't using apple they love there apple phones
