Not pleasant for my poor customers when I shake hands. Maybe it's my hands that need the attention.

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 . . . Rob |
