    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.
