[NFBCS] Cleaning a braille display

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Sorry it took me a while to respond to this; just seeing this message.

You can buy 90% alcohol in stores and pharmacies. The reason you 
shouldn't use cotton is the fibers will separate and possibly get stuck 
in your display. Use a soft lint free cloth instead; microfiber is a 
good choice. I've also done it with a soft paper towel in the past, but 
be careful if you go that route. Microfiber cloths are the ones you buy 
to clean, for example, a flat computer screen. Those cloths people buy 
to wipe down the body of their cars are also often microfiber.
