    Use just a microfiber cloth. Stay away with fluids from your lenses.

    In order not to have to scratch hard dirt off the coated front element of the actual lens, it is strongly recommended to use UV or clear glass filters as protection. That way one can only scratch the filter, not the 20 times as expensive lens.

    At your local camera shops or Best Buy and placed like that you can find microfiber lens cloths.

    This is the only safe way to clean lenses. NO LIQUIDS at all - none. Just the cloth.

    i exploit a delicate fabric, the type that i'm getting with my prescription spectacles, and that i breathe on them to mist them up. I then use an air blower, a rocket blower, to blow the lines of dirt utilising any fabric leaves at the back of. If the lens is filthy I certainly have jellified washing up liquid in little pots that i exploit on my prescription spectacles. i don't use filters to guard my lenses.
