How can I keep my lens clean?

I've used several different types of lens cleaners including ones for multicoated surfaces, and they all seem to leave residue. Also, I've used several different types of cloths as well, some made for glasses and some made for lenses, and no matter what there's always dust or lint on it. What's the best cleaner, cloth, and/or trick to get and keep a lens super-clean? Thanks!

Update:

I have a Canon GL2, by the way.

    my favorite is the lens pen - like this one:

    This is not a lens cleaner but...for SLR cameras you can bay a see through lens cover to screw on over the lens. It keeps the lens protected while taking photos and handling the camera. Some also block out UV light. Hope this helps.
