LPT: get a 12 pack of cheap microfiber towels from Amazon. They are big, but they work soooo well at cleaning glasses. Without any kind of water or solution, they will get all the oil off with just a wipe or two. I've since had LASIK, which I also recommend, but buy those microfiber towels. Not the thin ones you get with your glasses. Get the big fluffy ones and keep one at work, in your car, in your bag, at home. If you're as obsessive about keeping your glasses perfectly clean as I was, they'll be a godsend.

I'm talking about these:
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloth-24-Pack/dp/B009FUF6DM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1520758399&sr=8-3&keywords=microfiber+towels

as a general rule for cleaning cars, work from least-abrasive to more abrasive. This is less important for glass (because it's harder and doesn't scratch as easily as paint) but is still a good general rule to follow.

What this means for glass is: Start with a good microfiber and quality glass cleaner. Buff it well and dry it thoroughly - then test (with a garden hose). If that doesn't work, try something a little more abrasive, then follow up with the glass cleaner again to remove the abrasive. Re-test. etc.

In other words, do these steps until it's clean. If step 1 is good enough, stop. Don't do step 2 etc.

Step 1: Use a good microfiber towel and good paint-safe glass cleaner. Stoner's Invisible Glass is kind of the go-to cleaner but something like Windex works in a pinch (the detail crowd would disagree vehemently with me on this! the ammonia in Windex can etch paint if you're not careful) Spray the glass thoroughly and spritz a little on the towel itself then buff it thoroughly with a little pressure. Dry with a 2nd microfiber then check to see if it's clean with a garden hose.

Step 2: If that doesn't get it off, go with a very mild abrasive, being careful not to get any on the paint. Use Bon Ami (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bon-Ami-All-Natural-Powder-Cleanser-14-Oz-Shaker/26378949 ) or BarKeeper's Friend (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bar-Keepers-Friend-Cleanser-Polish-21-Oz/15026756 )plus a little water to make a thin paste. Again, scrub with a microfiber and very little pressure. Buff it, then clean with the Invisible Glass and re-test with the garden hose.

Step 3: Use a clay bar (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Meguiars-G1016-Smooth-Surface-Clay-Kit/16386193 ) with a little Quick Detail (Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detail is good - that comes with the kit I linked) or soapy water as lubricant. I'd actually do step 2 (bon ami), then step 3 (clay bar), then step 1 (glass cleaner) in this case.

Step 4: scrape with a brand-new razor blade plus some glass cleaner as lubricant. Follow up with the Bon Ami, the claybar, then the glass cleaner.



Microfibers: Microfibers are the absolute CORE of good auto detailing. Get some good ones - it's worth your while and unless you get into the boutique towels, it's really not all that expensive, and they will last a long time & can be used all over the car. Costco has 30 of them for $15 or something like that and they're really pretty decent quality. Look for the big pack of yellow microfibers. Amazon Basics has some decent ones as well: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloth-24-Pack/dp/B009FUF6DM -- for the "best quality at a decent price" I'd go with the Rag Company. They even have some glass-specific towels: https://www.theragcompany.com/glass-care-1/ While you're there, get a good drying towel too!! I can't recommend the Platinum Pluffle or Dry Me a River Jr. towels enough - night-and-day difference when washing a car :)

I use these microfiber cloths for everything having to do with my face. When I'm doing OCM, I'll use one clean cloth to wipe the oil off, cleanse as usual, and then another clean cloth to dry off. If I'm not showering at night, it's one clean cloth for OCM, one clean cloth to rinse face after cleansing, and one clean cloth to dry. It's good that there's 24 in a pack! I throw them all in the wash once a week with my sheets and towels and let them air dry. Although be forewarned that microfiber picks up lint like no one's business! I also find cat hair stuck to my face fairly often after patting dry. At least I know it's clean cat hair since it's been through the wash...

I know it's very much because of the flash, but I noticed that; despite you're Phanteks case with very solid dust filters. That there is a solid amount of dust on many of your components.

Consider getting some canned air, lint free cloths (also good for cleaning more than just PC electronics) & an electronic brush. To get rid of pretty much all dust.

PC Dust Elimination - The Rugged, Manly Way

1. First question

The kit you linked looks pretty bad from the reviews alone, I wouldn't buy it. You want one of the kits you'll see on sites like Nihonzashi, or from Bill Rannow, or Bob Benson, or anywhere else you see the same mass-produced kit.

The quality of the kits varies. On the other hand the quality needed also varies according to the blade. A monosteel production blade with a budget finish doesn't need special treatment, whereas an antique in $3000 Juyo-level polish ought to be babied a bit more.

Typically, the oil from the online kits is okay to use — note you want the clear oil, the yellower stuff is not as good. The little hammer used to push out the mekugi is virtually identical everywhere. The cleaning & oiling cloths are ok. The uchiko — absorbent / abrasive powder applied via that "pom pom" thing — is often terrible, causing obvious starburst scuffs; better ones are unfortunately kind of expensive.

The cleaning guide I linked to in the nihontō guide is the traditional method. However, a lot of modern collectors — of both Japanese-style & actual antiques — go a totally different route. I myself use:

1. 100% Anhydrous Isopropyl Alcohol to remove old oil
   
   
2. Blue "shop towels" to apply alcohol or oil and/or wipe down
   
   
3. Microfiber cloths for the last bit of residual oil / water / whatever
   
   
4. Any plain light mineral oil to protect. The oil is perhaps the most religious topic here, you'll hear people say they only use the traditional chōji abura from Japan (just light mineral oil with a few drops of clove for scent), others will say certain gun oils / collector oils are fine, others even go with sewing machine oil or similar… some collectors in dry environments and who have nicely-made traditional shirasaya even go without any oil at all. Note that this debate exists at the level of preserving valuable antiques, it really doesn't make a difference for production swords so long as you use any kind of mineral oil base. No reason you can't use the traditional stuff on a production sword though.
   
   
5. NO uchiko at all! That's right, a lot of modern collectors say that with alcohol, the point of uchiko (to get rid of the dried oil) is moot at best, and destructive at worst. Uchiko is an abrasive left over from the polishing process. It can help clear up a faded blade but on a fresh polish it can only reduce the clarity.
   
   

   2. Second question
   

   
   Not going to go into all the details on this but it highly depends what you mean by "safely display". The traditional method is to rest the sword in koshirae (mounts) edge-up, tsuka-left, in a katana kake. Of course this doesn't prevent anybody from picking it up or anything.

I'm a clean freak as well, and I can't even fully hold the gamepad before cleaning it every single time. It just gets too grimy for me. I'm also a bit of a clean freak with my car and do a lot of detailing, so I have dozens of microfiber towels laying around. I keep one in my tub full of Nintendo controllers so it's always within reach in the living room. I'd recommend this bundle from Amazon - note that these aren't high quality microfibers, but they're perfect for electronics, dusting and even cleaning the interior of your vehicle. Remember that if you put microfibers in the dryer on normal heat, they will be permanently damaged and can then scratch fine surfaces (like automotive clearcoats), but would still be fine for stuff like the gamepad.
tl;dr: get a cheap bundle of some big microfibers and they'll do wonders. Just remember to wash/dry them on low heat or no heat so they last longer.

I got these on Amazon recently! They're nice and soft and work well.

They're a recent purchase and I haven't yet tried to wash them but I don't see that being an issue.

Good quality Microfiber cloths.

These are the first that pop up when I search "microfiber" on Amazon.


I don't know about Target (Canada here), but you can find them in Walmart in the auto section. I buy mine from an auto shop.

Mofi is the one to get. Just use that.

Amazon Basics are my JAM.

AmazonBasics Microfiber Cleaning Cloth - 24 Pack

A lifetime's worth of cloths for 13 bucks. Zero complaints about them so far, they are what it says on the tin.

I have the same modal and color! Love this car to pieces. As for keeping the screen clean: I keep one of these in the glovebox: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloth-Pack/dp/B009FUF6DM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1457455904&sr=8-2&keywords=microfiber

You can legit use these kind of microfiber towels. Without water. I normally use an oil cleanser but in a pinch they will do, I have them for wiping off my makeup brushes between full washes.

Just use a microfiber cleaning rag - for example, get those and choose one color that is never for cleaning the toilet but only for cleaning yourself. I hope this helps :)

Any microfiber cloth will do.

While I like it for lots of computer-related cleaning, don't use isopropyl alcohol to clean phones — or at least not for cleaning your screens. It will degrade and shorten the lifespan of the oleophobic coating on the screen, and it can even completely remove it.

Just stick with a clean microfiber cloth of some kind, generally. I usually find that's enough to pick up any skin oils on my phone and remove them. Something like a glasses cleaning cloth is what I'm referring to. This is what we usually get.

If you really need to, a slightly damp soft cloth should take care of anything else. We like these ones. for this purpose, and for a whole bunch of other things like light dusting, cleaning car windows, and cleaning computer screens. (I do use isopropyl for the latter one, sometimes.)

Cast Iron Skillet - 8" or 10" should be good for two people.

Cast Iron Dutch Oven - you want the big deep one, with legs and a flat top.

Barbecue gloves - for grabbing hot cast iron.

Two plastic cutting boards - easy to sanitize, have one for meat and one for veggies

Aluminum Foil don't cheap out here - get the thick one. Perfect for covering the grate on the fire ring before putting on some kebabs.

Knife, metal spatula, ladle and tongs - ideally a chef's knife that has multiple uses, and tools that have long handles.

Wash tub and sponge, soap (I like dawn)

High absorbency towels - we got a big bag of these and they've been invaluable - cleaning up around the campsite, drying dishes, etc.

Lol

Same ones! The ones he bought were washcloth size, I'm pretty sure it was these, though mine are all white. But I love having a bunch of them around so I can swap them out every few days.

I use microfiber cloths (specifically, these). I eventually plan on adding an emulsifier to my cleansing oil, but in the meantime they work well and are gentle.

Good question, and it pains me a bit that I have a small box of unused tools that were purchased when I began. I'm sure I missed a few things, but here you go:

• Lamp I love this thing, and it's silly how much it improved my craft.
  
• Utility knife (Stanley) with many replacement blades. I flip then toss these frequently.
  
• Shovel knife
  
• Beveler
  
• Burnishers
  
• Microfiber clothes
  
• Granite block
  
• Stitching pony (handmade and based upon http://www.instructables.com/id/3rd-Hand-Leather-Stitching-Clamp/)
  
• Awl
  
• Diamond Awl
  
• Wing Divider
  
• Pliers

• Chisels I use these as pricking irons because they leave a massive hole
  
• Dremel
  
• Bulldog clips
  
  If links weren't provided then I already had the item.

I use microfiber cloths after OCM to remove the extra oil/makeup/etc. I bought these from Amazon, and I don't find them to be too harsh on my face. I use a clean one every day, and wash them separately from my other laundry- lint and other things stick to microfiber pretty easily, and can be hard to get off!

Okay. So i bought a gold iridium bout 4 months ago. The same night, I hit a bug. Tried whiping away with a napkin (i know i know) and i rubbed some of the gold iridium layer off, and left an ugly (tinted/smoke) blemish (which is underneath the gold layer). I am OCD so i learned my lesson. Ever since then, I only used MicroFiber cloth (make sure you use a correct one. I used to owrk at a sunglass shop and still have some microfiber clothes from there, but chceck this out.
Iridiums take patience. From my experience, I cleaned it every day, even sometimes multiple times a day (usually after I finish riding I would whipe it down with my microfiber). If you need to whipe off gunk (bugs,water stains, etc) get one of the more towel-like cloths and put it under warm water and whipe your visor. Be sure not to whipe too hard when using rougher surface cloths.. I wouldn't risk it with the towel-like ones. For the sunglass/lens type microfibers, I would wipe pretty hard to get all fingerprints and stuff off.

Iridiums are really nice only if they look clean with very little blemishes so take care of it! Ever since that first night I stupidly used a regular chipotle napkin, I never had another scratch again using these methods.

Goodluck and lmk if this works for you.

I have a pack of microfiber towels that work really well. I get one end slightly damp, wipe the screen gently, and then use the other end to dry. Here is a link to some. I hope this helps!

They're on sale for $9!
https://smile.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloth-24-Pack/dp/B009FUF6DM/

Here you are! It costs just a bit more than seventeen cents, but you'll never need to buy more.

I use these and these

To add to this. After cleaning with the glass cleaner and paper towels, buff the windows with a dry microfiber towel.

The linked items are what I use. I found windex would just smear the film around and I'd have to wash and buff the windows several times, but the above works well in 1 pass unless I've gone a while since a cleaning, then it will need 2, which is still a lot better than 4-5 Windex treatments to get it all off.

I use Micro fiber cloths like these https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloth-24-Pack/dp/B009FUF6DM

Make sure you wash your pillow cases often.

On your face, use a very gentle, pH balanced cleanser, maybe using a fresh, soft, microfiber washcloth instead of scrubbing. Use a BHA exfoliant like Paula's Choice 2% BHA Gel to help fight the blackheads, and of course, keep your hands away from your face. I know it's tempting to pick and pop, but unless you follow strict aseptic protocols, it can lead to infection and scarring, and spread the bacteria beneath the skin's surface. Also, squeezing can give you those broken capillaries that make your nose look red and irritated. Ask me how I know. :/

And do see a dermatologist for treatment. Acne is a bacterial infection and inflammation of the skin. Treatment isn't cosmetic, it's medical. Think of it this way, if the pimples/blackheads/redness/flaking were on the backs of your hands, wouldn't you seek medical attention? You bet you would! But because it's on your face, you're gonna suffer through it?? No way.

Wash and Wax $8

24 microfiber towels $13

Quik detailer $8

Okay, a couple questions:

(1) are you referring to the microfibre that looks kind of, idk, bumpy - more like a towel (I have a cleaning cloth like this)? or the kind that feels like suede, more of a cloth (I have a fast-dry, super-absorbent travel towel like this)? Idk why I feel like there are two different types.

(2) Someone mentioned this before but I feel afraid to put a car/cleaning towel on my face. Would these 1 2 3 4 all be good options?

AmazonBasics Microfiber Cleaning Cloth - 24 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009FUF6DM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_GFcsybRVJWWEY

I got my spanner from Amazon, maybe $20 and it's just fine, has ends that flip for pointed or flat-blade, no problems.

First, I'd go to apug.org and do a search for fungus, lens, cleaning, etc., try a few and there should be a lot of info. There are guys that suggest some particular hand lotion for really stuck fungus, sort of barely-abrasive.

On the RB lenses (and many others), you remove the logo ring first, the ring around the front element that says stuff like "90mm 2.8" and so on - you have to find a rubber stopper that fits, or press a rubber glove onto it with something. If you have a front ring without spanner holes, take it to the hardware store and look for a rubber sink stopper - or a "fernco", which is a short rubber tube with thick walls, used to join two pipes together - they usually have pipe clamps on the ends. (Fernco is a brand, they're "flexible plumbing adapters"). Just something that will press on the lens without hitting the glass. You push down hard on it (if necessary) and use it to get the ring loose, and then unscrew it. They're just a couple bucks.

In my case, the front element then lifted out, and the fungus was on the lens group under it, which (I think I recall) had a ring that needed the spanner. I took the element out, blew off any dust, and used a q-tip with peroxide - I'd try not to "soak" anything if possible. That took the spot of fungus off, and I then cleaned the element (I use ROR optical cleaner, but 99% isopropyl alcohol is a great lens cleaner. 99%, not the 80% grocery store stuff which has oils and additives). I can never get the last swirly marks off, so I use a pristine, clean microfiber cloth for a final polish. (By the way, Kim Wipes are an awesome thing to have handy for cleaning lenses and negatives). And use a rubber blower every step of the way, while the lens is open go ahead and get all the dust out.

When you finish cleaning and reassemble, cheap cotton gloves are really a big help - it's easy to get 90% done and spot a big fingerprint on some glass and have to take it back apart. I wear these when I sleeve negatives, spot prints, and frame and matte prints too, another must-have in my opinion.

You can disassemble a lens pretty completely, and if you start seeing lots of parts to remove, take lots of photos, draw a diagram, etc. I save all those tiny clear bags that parts and things come in, and put screws and parts from each step in them - tape them to a sheet of paper and label the paper, like, "step 3, lens group set screws" and make notes and sketches (that way you can reuse the bags).

Good luck, do a little research and take it slow - hope your fungus is an easy spot!

AmazonBasics Microfiber Cleaning Cloth - 24 Pack... and don't use any cleaning chemicals, only water and only for stuff that doesn't come off with just the cloth.

Yup my visor has a dedicated micro fiber cloth and can of Plexus.

When you can get 36 microfiber towels for $18 dollars, why not?

Edit: These ones are cheaper but I've never used them.

Emphasis on the sham part.

24 Shammies for $10

This stuff is unbelievable. So effortless to put on by hand. After a good wash, it took maybe 40 minutes to do the car with moderate detailing experience. It leave a jaw dropping shine and you'll use maybe 1/8 of a bottle on a single coat of a mid sized sedan.

Currently $18.92 at Amazon with free shipping. Plus a 4 pack of applicator pads for 8 and some change and a 24 pack of microfiber towels for $10.
$35 bucks for a shiny car for 3+ years. You just can't beat it.

Pretty sure they were referring to the AmazonBasics microfiber cloths. They are about 11x15" and currently 24 for $10

I do it dry but you can do it wet after you wash it! I just spot clean my brushes before or after each use with the microfiber cloth (I don't have time to wash my brushes every day. I wash them every other week). I bought these microfiber cloths on Amazon because I also love them for cleaning but I think I've seen smaller packs at CVS or Walmart!

Like these, you can buy them just about everywhere.

If you have friends, consider Tabletop Simulator. It pretty much has an infinite amount of replay-ability. I would also vouch for Rocket League.

If you're into mods there's also a lot of games on Steam and in general with lots of mod support. (Minecraft comes to mind)

Also consider getting a better mouse, or microfiber cloths to clean your PC area, or save a little bit more and buy a UPS to protect your investment.
