It is better off dirty than improperly cleaned. Do not grind in ANY matter with a napkin. Blow out or brush out debris first.  Lens pen has a little brush. I use then a 'huff' of breath and a Kleenex. A spritz of windex can help get oily substances off or if it is really bad.

Windex or alcohol and Qtips.

I use R.O.R. (residual oil remover) and a big microfiber cloth - same stuff I use for cleaning camera lenses.

I just wanted to see what other's take on the subject was.

Is R.O.R. a camera shop product?

Yes. You can buy it from Adorama.com

It's like $8 I believe - I have 5 cameras and 3 scoped rifles and my current bottle has lasted me over two years.

Microfiber cloths are more in the $12 range, and it's a good idea to have several. I prefer the big, fluffy, imported ones also sold by Adorama.


R.O.R. - Adorama

Microfiber Cloth - Adorama

I got a handful of eyeglass cleaning kits from Kaiser...about the only useful thing I've ever gotten from them.  It has a cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth.  Works great.  Best of all, they were free.  (well, if you forget my $374 monthly premium, that is ).
