Substitute for lint-free cloth

So my Framework 16 fell out of my bag when I was rushing to my next class and met a hard floor on the left bottom corner. As a result, I have to now replace the top case, the display, the bottom case, and a spacer (everything else was miraculously spared).

Unfortunately, I am not aware of any lint-free cloths in my house. All I have knowledge of is blankets and pillows. What will work as a substitute?

Also, are there any other gotchas I should be aware of?

I’ve been making do with a Steam Deck while I’ve been waiting for the parts to get in.

EDIT: Would a pillowcase work?

No, I do not believe a pillowcase would replace your top case, display, bottom case, and spacer. Best to just order the correct parts and wait for them to be delivered.

I mean as a substitute for a lint free cloth. Should have been more specific.

Most microfiber cleaning towels are designed to be lint-free. Just be sure to rip off the tag so it doesn’t scratch whatever you are cleaning with. They can be bought just about everywhere cleaning supplies are sold. (Grocery, Target, AutoZone, Farm Supply, etc.)

Sorry I was just being funny as it wasn’t clear what you needed the cloth for. I would suggest any cloth made for glasses or camera lens cleaning to be the best choice.
