    You put your handkerchief in the same pocket as your phone?

    First of all, how big are your pockets?

    Second of all, doesn’t your phone collect oils from your hand? Do you really want that transferring to your handkerchief in your pocket?

      Kerchiefs barely take any space, not sure what size you are thinking of. You change it everyday, just like clothing that picks up the oil.

        I guess I was imagining something the size of a cloth dinner napkin, or one of those things bandits cover their faces with. Didn’t realize kerchiefs were smaller.

        But my phone seems to attract oil and cling to it. I wipe it down with alcohol every few days but it doesn’t take long to rebuild. Even while keeping my hands clean. I wouldn’t want it in the same pocket as anything I wipe my face with

            Maybe but it was a problem before I started using alcohol wipes. For several months I would just use a paper towel or a napkin but it always left some behind, and it would build up slowly over a week or two and get really gross.

            Now I use alcohol wipes and it gets it really clean, and since I’m used to the cleanliness now I notice faster when it starts building up again, so I clean it more often now too. Before, I wouldn’t even notice until it was caked on…

          You usually open up the folded kerchief to wipe your face. Shouldn’t matter if the outside is oily.
