Default Soap and Water for Cleaning CDs

In an earlier post I asked about cleaning CDs.

Someone named Robert Morein said, "I use soap, water, and a Bounty towel,
wiping from center to edge."

What kind of soap is supposed to be used and in what method? Do you mean
dish soap, like Dawn?

I'm guessing dish soap, with a few drops in a spray bottle of water. Then
spray with distilled water to rinse so there is no residue?

Or are people dunking their CDs in a sink full of water with Dawn, then
dunking them into another sink with rinse water, just like doing dishes?

I also cringe at the idea of paper towels - just from having glasses and
being told never to wipe optical surfaces with any paper products - only
soft cloth. I thought paper towels contained tiny sharp fibres which would
scratch.
