Cleaning Micro Fiber Side of Smart Cover?

Also, a tip for not getting the microfiber dirty in the first place is to fold the cover in the opposite direction from that shown in the Apple advertisement. In other words, leaving the leather on the outside rather than on the inside. After adopting this practice, I find that my Smart Cover seldom leaves the streaks on the screen that it used to. I've never really cleaned mine though, and use a stylus 80% of the time.

I have used woolite foam rug cleaner on my expensive leather purses to get stains off of it with very good success. Not any rubbing required. Wonder if that would work,

Wow, i thought the smart cover was supposed to be folded so that the leather is on the outside in the first place. It only makes sense to protect the integrity of the side that actually touches the screen before the outside of the cover....dontcha think? I obviously wasnt paying attention to the commercial very well either.

Yes, it does make sense. But, I've seen many people folding it in the nonsensical way...

In addition, when hand holding, it makes sense to fold the cover in half, exposing only the outside. Not fully across the back (as a lot of people do) which leaves the microfiber side fully exposed.

Ric - had not given that suggestion a try but just did and feels comfortable - will see how that position works for me in the next few days - thanks! :)
