I watched it. So far I only have one of such towel, but he reminded me
that my sink is usually dirtier than the towel would be, even though I
wash new clothes in that sink, so they won't bleed on to the rest of my
clothes***
Sorry. I assumed that everyone has microfiber towels and knows how to
use them. When I was still fixing computers, I bought them in bulk
for cleaning displays:

I didn't like spending the money, but did so anyway because my
customers expected me to clean their displays. Even if I couldn't fix
their computer,
LOL
In the not so distant past, it was customary for automobile repair
shops to wash the vehicle before returning it to the customer. The
practice largely ended when began experiencing extended droughts.

I have a friend who drinks distilled water, in place of plain water!
When he came to visit, I'd buy a gallon of distilled water. After his
last visit, the plastic bottle sat on the basement floor for weeks or
months, without any problem. I took it to the kitchen and set it on the
formica counter, and in one night it sprang a leak and ruined the
particle board under the formica (this was 1979 stuff with s seam
between the top and front.) So why did it leak after leaving the
cement basement floor and sitting on the formica???
What type of plastic was the water bottle made from? I've had
drinking bottles harden and crumble without external influences. This
bottle did NOT get much UV exposure, yet disintegrated when I touched
it after about 8 years of indoor storage:

He moved farther away and doesn't come to visit anymore, so I thought I
had no distilled water and didnt' want to buy a gallon for one
tablespoon's worth, but I found a gallon in the basement, not on the
floor, 2/3rds of it used. ???? Don't know why I have it. The car
battery couldn't use over 2 quarts. I no longer iron clothes and need it
for the steam iron.
When I tried drinking de-mineralized (or de-ionized) water, it tasted
ummm tasteless. There was no taste at all. It was the liquid
equivalent of eating paper.

Drivel: I used to obtain my tap water from two large redwood water
tanks. The water came from a local spring. I decided to look inside
the tank via some covered access holes in the top of the tanks. I
found several dead squirrels floating in one. The local tap water had
the reputation for being the best tasting water in the area.
We had a big fire in the area in Aug 2020. The fire melted many of
the plastic water pipes that were just sitting on the dirt. The
chemical analysis of the water what horrid. The prime contaminants
were benzene and other VOC's, which forms when plastic melts. See Pg
14:

The problem was quickly fixed by re-routing some of the water mains
and eventually replacing the pipes.

"The District lost seven miles of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
pipe in the CZU fire."
So now the screen, which almost never touch, is clean and I even cleaned
the phone, though that will get dirt again soon.
Primary heating in my house is from a wood burning stove:

I would always put a large tea pot, full of water, on the stove. The
idea was that it would raise the humidity in the house and prevent
chapped lips. Instead, it deposited white calcium carbonate (lime)
dust all over the house. The tea or coffee tasted awful because of
the high lime concentration.
