Default getting rid of unprintable chraracters...?

I have the following loop in a function to get rid of unprintable
chararcters (car ret, line feeds, etc) in a cell.
It works fine most of the time, but something is getting by it.
I keep running into a cell that has one char that always remain (I can
see it is taking up a space, but I cannot identify it).

Can I change this loop to leave only a-z A-Z 0-9?
Or at the very least, leave only chracters I can see?
Thnak you

Function eliminate_unprintable_chars(chars)
For i = 1 To Len(chars)
If Mid(chars, i, 1) " " Then
...I have a good character here, now save it....
End If
Next i
End Function
