    Why newspaper? Is it just lint free, or does it do something that paper towels won’t do. I still get coupons in the mail with news print pages, so I’ll have to give it a try.

    I’ll add to the conversation and say, denatured alcohol works great on anything that sticks or smears if you have a particularly tough spot.

      It’s lint-free… and free! Paper towels are definitely not the answer as they leave little bits behind.

        I can’t handle the texture of microfiber in my hands. I get the shivers and goosebumps. I can’t find a decent cleaning cloth any time I look. I remember my mom having cloth diapers from the 80s, and they worked great for 20 years or so. I should look into that.

        Newspaper doesn’t leave ink behind? I imagine the comics leaving a faint colorful streak.
