Being a full-time food and restaurant writer, I often have pizza flour, garlic aioli, and a schmear of duck fat on my hands (First World problems, I know). On site, I type out notes as chefs reel off intricate ingredients and methods of preparation. The next morning when I'm working away at my computer, after about three hours of writing about steak and seafood; unctuous ramen with dense, chewy noodles; and pillowy mille-feuille, I am s-t-a-r-v-i-n-g. So then I eat, hunched right over my keyboard as I write to deadline. You can barely make out the "T," "H," and "Y" after I've downed a bowl of bulgogi or ripped into a tender veal cutlet dripping in Bearnaise sauce while typing.

While I am probably one of the most fastidious folks to clean their screens, I have run into a problem as of late: what the hell can I use that won't damage my screens and/or just move the filth around?

After all, we both know that you can't use glass cleaner or anything with alcohol on any them, yet many of my eco-cleaners that have now replaced chemical commercial ones aren't safe either (FYI - don't use them on your granite counters either). To combat this issue, for a long time I carried around a mini microfibre cloth. But it ended up just contributing to the problem - and now that I think of it, it's gross. Like hankies for your phone. 

Blech.

Thank god for Spruce & Co.
