Now when they say a screen protector is resuable...

Some of those crystal clear type screen protectors say they're reusable, but how?

They also say that there's no adhesive, but it feels sticky to me as if there is something.

Can I wash them somehow? If I get some lint stuck on it, is there a way to get the lint off?
 
aren't we talking about the screen protectors that we PUT ON a screen? Not the factory protector that typically covers the glossy plastic/glass parts of an electronic device?

Ah the wonders of materials engineering... Adhesive implies a glue-like material that is a different material than the plastic protector... The reusable protectors have adhesive-like properties without utilizing an adhesive. The property is part of the plastic. Typically, it's just electrostatic attraction.

As for removing lint, scotch tape works very well.
