[Leica] How clean is my sensor?

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I never know how dirty a cloth is. It's normally in a condition where its
been used at least once before. I do know the condition of the 100% cotton
shirt I am wearing. Its freshly laundered and cleaner than any cloth I'd
carry around. I have cloths. Microfiber. I just hate them. Hate! As in
"hate"! THAT'S what I'm going to do I'm going to SLIME my camera lens with
plastic woven fibers from the bottom of my camera bag.
Mush!
