[shadow]

Wash in a bowl of water and 1/2 teaspoon fabric softener.
Rinse with fresh water.
Gently the towel dry.

Easy way
You can just dip a rag in a bowl of water and 1/2 teaspoon fabric softener.
Then carefully wipe the face with it.
Rinse towel with fresh water.
Wipe meter face with fresh water.
Gently the towel dry.

Service note.
If you have a meter that you think may be sticking...
Remove the cover...
Do Not use your finger.... To play with or touch the pointer.
-->> Just lightly blow a little air across to the meter face.
Easy way to see if it sticks and will go full scale.
