Sleeve most common mobile screen cleaner in Japan

In a survey on mobile phones from goo Research, reported on by japan.internet.com, they looked in particular in cleaning the screen, a subject that I have actually covered over two years ago.
Demographics
Between the 22nd and 24th of December 2009 1,070 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.4% of the sample were male, 15.7% in their teens, 18.4% in their twenties, 21.3% in their thirties, 16.3% in their forties, 16.1% in their fifties, and 12.2% aged sixty or older.
I too most often wipe my mobile screen on my sleeve, despite having a mascot screen cleaner dangling from my phone. The screen cleaner does a better job, of course, but one good wipe on my sleeve after a phone call is far quicker!
