I know better now of course, but it still feels like a small miracle every time perfectly clean water comes out of a faucet to clean dirty things, or perfectly clean paper towels absorb cat throw-up. What are all the methods which reverse dirtropy to create or keep things clean?

There's definitely a lot more that could be said about this than retreading basic thermodynamics loopholes. For example, lipofuscin and the SENS program: crud builds up in all cells as they age; why are we not buried under it after billions of years? Specialist bacteria!

Highly recommend
@hautepop's newsletter / essay series on dust. About much much more (climate, history, ethics, architecture/urbanism) but very relevant to ideas around cleanliness & also just generally a really fun read! http://www.jayowens.me/dust.html -
Thanks very much Brendan! I started writing it because dust is the *worst* stuff to clean up: most dusting just flaps it up into the air, it floats off, and settles down somewhere else. It's particularly stubborn stuff...
