>WTF is lint free cloth? I need to wipe off excess sealer from a deck
I aksed almost the exact same quesion in December, in
alt.home.cleaning msg-id =
I got 5 replies not counting my own. OK, I'll just print them all.
You'll know a cloth is lint free by wiping a pane or mirror, then
carefully examining the surface for lint under magnification. You can
use a jeweler's loupe.
If your printer is showing horizontal streaks you can clean the
underside of the head using a Q-Tip moistened with distilled water.
Tap water can damage a printer head. Repeat the procedure with
another Q-Tip until it wipes clean.

Yes, gently rub the print head with a moist Q-Tip, underneath and 1/2"
beyond each side. However, it is best to follow the manufacturer's
recommendations. HP has mini-movies on their web site, one showing
how to clean the print head (sorry I don't have the specific url).

>On "How Clean is Your House" they said a coffee filter is lint-free.
In chemistry class we used "Kimwipes" which are lint-free tissues.
Also, you can get something similar at a camera shop.

I thought microfiber cloths were lint-free.
Opinions?
