Lens cleaning kits

[Mutter22]

I have been advised by a high street store to use monster clean touch wipes and solution to clean my lens. I'm not sure though as the packet says it is for touch screens and doesn't mention lenses. The kit contains an anti microbial cloth (doesn't mention lint free) and the spray leaves a residual coating which resists finger prints. I know I'm not meant to use an organic spray on the lens but I don't think this is organic. Anyone used this make of cleaner before or know if this sort of cleaning kit is ok to use?

Don't use anything on your lens that's not designed for lenses.. You have a very fine coating on your lens. If you use the wrong stuff, then after a while, you won't have a very fine coating on your lens. Screen cleaner is caustic.

About the only thing that's not designed for camera lenses that you might consider using is spectacle cleaner, but I really wouldn't.. The resolution your camera lens needs to go down to is much finer than the resolution your eyes need. If it's not designed for camera lenses, don't use it.

Thanks. Just been out to get some proper stuff after reading your post as I just wasn't prepared to even chance it. Now time to go wipe fingerprints off :s
