I've got an automotive parts washer out in the garage that works
perfectly for this.

1) When a simple answer (H2O) suffices it makes no sense to choose a
more complex answer (NH3 + H2O.)
2. Ammonia-based glass cleaners such as Windex are suitable for
cleaning exterior automobile windows that are likely to have thick
coatings of road oils and other petroleum condensates. They are rarely
needed for household use.
3) Apple says not to use window cleaners.

For the record: Windex makes "Windex Vinegar" which has no ammonia, is
VERY mild and yet doesn't smell like English chips.
It beats water in this case because of the non-streaking and how it
quickly and easily gets rid of body oils.

Because they can't count on people not using the hard-core cleaners.
Good advice on Apple's part.

When if and as I get mine, I hope I have an answer to the drop of dish
liquid.

That's right. It was initially rumored to be dry clean only, but with
the provided cloth you can put it on the gentle cycle and use a
non-bleach detergent. Wash with like colors.
