what comes off is a mix of skin, sweat and dirt, bit hard to avoid unless
you wear gloves :)

I find microfibre cloths good for this type of thing, wet with a weak
detergent solution. I only get them when they're on some type of offer.
Have a cupboard full now ;-)

I do seem to get rather sticky hands in this weather. Not pleasant for my
poor customers when I shake hands. Maybe it's my hands that need the
attention.

Ah, a use for that useless microfibre bath towel that I thought was a good
idea at the time.
If I dig out the sowing machine I'll get a fair few cleaning cloths out of
the towel.

Microfibre bath towel - sounds like a bizarre idea. The microfibre
cloths seem to have a benign abrasive action on all surfaces I've tried.
They'll cut trhough grease, for example, without the need for detergent
- but that makes them very difficult to clean. Hadn't occurred to me to
try drying skin with one . . .
