I just did a bit of googling about this and I can't find any reference to pumice in paper so I'm not sure if the problem is with my memory or of I'm just out of date. Probably the former since if papermaking had simply changed I'd probably have found reference to that. There are still some things I'm sure of. Toilet paper doesn't scratch my glasses. I've been using my current bifocals (reading and computer lenses) for about 6 or 7 years and they get cleaned at least once a week with toilet paper, the rest of the time with water and a microfiber cloth. They're still just fine. My trifocals are at least 12 or 13 years old and are still clear as can be. They don't get used as much or washed as much though. As a whittler I often used Kleenex for the final smoothing on my carvings and I had to be careful not to overdo it because there was the risk of changing the shape. It's very rough stuff. Also, another fact I picked up in that papermaking course which has proven itself true over the decades: if you get a cold and use Kleenex your nose gets red and sore. Use toilet paper and it doesn't. So right or wrong (probably wrong) the thrust of what I said is probably still valid. Barry |

Wife and I have had Kindles for several years. Both get cleaned regularly with a microfiber coth slightly damp which removed most. If that doesn't work its a microfiber with a spray of Isopropyl.
The wife's screen gets filthy, I clean that way more then mine (in fairness she reads way more then me) both screens are in pristine condition and show absolutely no signs of degrading. |
