Do you guys carry a cleaning cloth to wipe your screen

I have/need microfiber cloths everywhere, for my glasses, handbag, car, desk, bedside, etc. so, if I do feel the need to clean my phone or iPad, I usually have a cloth handy. I hardly ever clean my phone, but my iPad needs it a lot, especially if I'm eating something while using it.
i used my pants or my shirt. another thing to carry well in fact i do have my shirt and pants already. also when you slide the iphone in and out of your shirt or your pants pocket, it wipes the dirt out right ?
I know it is very immature, being used to UK English this really made me giggle. I wouldn't dream of wiping the glass with my pants roflmao.
I keep microfiber cloths in a bunch of places - purse, drawer at work, living room, bedroom, car, etc. I mostly use them for my eyeglasses but they certainly come in handy on the rare occasions I clean my smartphone and tablet displays (pretty much when I can barely see the screen anymore because of all the fingerprint smudges). 
My glasses case has a cloth, my ear buds and the small bottle of whoosh. Unfortunately their is no room for my glasses.
I'm the same and everybody in my family knows it and comes to me when they have dirty glasses or phones.
I have microfiber cloth on me big time. First, there's the glasses wearing. Then, there is my DLSR shooting with nice lenses. And there are those cloths that came with the device cleaning sprays originally sold at the Apple stores.
I would use my shirt or pants to wipe the screen but I'm afraid of scratching it. OCD will lessen though as time goes by.
As I wear glasses, I carry a small microfiber cloth, folded up in my wallet. Does the trick when my phone just needs a quick cleaning.
The inside of my pocket usually keeps the screen pretty clean (I face the screen inward toward my leg).
But I also carry one of these in my wallet: http://www.handstandspromo.com/tech/microbuff
It's a piece of microfiber cloth attached (you can detach and reattach) to a plastic card the size of a credit card. It's not the most robust cleaning cloth ever, but handy when you need it. I'm not quite sure where to get just one of them though, I got mine at a vendor fair that was giving out samples. The link above is for bulk purchasing and putting your company logo on it, etc.

I do when I'm at home. I use a damp cloth to clean my phone in a dry one to clean it/dry it off. And I do not like facial grease on my phone so I am either using headphones or Bluetooth to talk and when fingerprints get on the screen, I tried to clean them with my shirt as best as possible or if I'm going to convenient store I will usually go wash my hands in the bathroom and use the towel that I dried my hands with as a damp cloth to clean the screen with and dry it off with a second piece.
I usually always have one with me. I clean my devices about 200 times a day. I think it's a sickness.
Glad I'm not the only OCD person on here.
I use my Hanky. Seems to work best in the morning.
That's one phone I wouldn't want to borrow. Ewwww.
