HI, Mark!
Thanx for the reply! I'll check the local grocery to see if they have any.
As you did, I guess I can use any oily ones on the furniture (might even
keep the dust down!)
Thanx!!

The ones I use are dry - I don't trust *anything* wet/oily on my film (not
even the old 'nose-oil' method..!)
By the way, Hersch's suggestion was a good one - try them on your
sunglasses first - that way you'll soon see if they have oil in them!
There are a number of brands on the market, some are designed to go on
strange-looking floor sweepers. I have bought several types and found most
contained a light oil, so I used them on my furniture.. But there are a
few brands that have no oils - these seem to work very well. They are VERY
antistatic, are softer than any cloth, and run rings around any dust
brushes I have tried (which I reckon put as much dust *on* as they remove).
Naturally film damage *will* result from anything other than a very soft
wipe, but after a bit of practice I now feel very confident with my light
stroking method! So experiment first and don't blame me later ;-)
