How long does the anti-static properties last? I have an Ilford anti-static cloth that's now pushing 2 years old. All it says on the bag is to not wash the cloth, and that the bag will help keep it clean but won't extend the useful life. So what's the useful life?

128 views and no answers, guess that means that lots of people want an answer to this question.

I have and use one and keep it in the bag between uses. It keeps the dust off of my negatives. But I'm to the point now that I wonder if any good cloth, such as one used to clean eyeglasses, would work just as well. In any case, I keep using it. If nothing else, they smell very effective.
