But doesn't the tryptophan make you sleepy?

+ 1 for the micro fiber cloth.

I have a little eco-friendly tip that I came up with for my Swiffer, and I'm sure many of you guys have one.

You can buy a large micro fiber towel in the "auto section" of your hardware store, and cut it up into six or so separate cloths to fit the Swiffer, then sew the edges. I just wash the cloths when they get dirty, and they also last for a very long time.

No need to throw out those Swiffer brand cloths when they get dirty, it's cheaper, works just as well if not better, and more importantly cuts down on waste.


The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Heh... I just use swiffer cloths without the swiffer. Someone gave us a box at some point or something.

Found a microfiber cloth at home, put on just a little bit of water, and it did the trick.

Thanks all!

if you go to auto zone, they have ultra plush micro fiber cloths. They are blue. These are what I use to dry my car, as well as clean the TV. they work much better than a regular microfiber cloth due to the length of the fibers... I am fairly sure you can use rubbing alcohol, that is what we use to use to clean computer LCD displays, I am also pretty sure that LCD TV's can't be much different than computer LCD displays.

hope this helps.

One spritz of any quick detailer for cars on a soft and clean microfiber cloth does the trick. Most decent quick detailers are designed to lift and suspend dust so it can be GENTLY wiped off. A bonus is that it leaves the surface a little slick so subsequent smudges are easier to wipe off.

Yeah - that's great if you can even FIND an old-fashioned turkey!!!!



Timing for the question is good. I had been looking for microfiber cloths for a few months. Of course, I stumbled across them Sunday when I WASN'T actively looking.

Go to Lowe's in the automotive section. They have a single one (16" x 16") for $3.97 or a three pack for $8.97 ( I might be $1 off). Got them and did the slightly damp + dry approach and they worked great.
