Microdear Microfiber Deluxe Cleaning Cloth, Large, 14.5" x 17.75"

I got a couple of these many many years ago for my camera lenses and recently some more for my glasses and as back-ups. These are nothing like the cheap smooth slippery lens cloths many places sell. These are soft but have a slight raised texture and grab (not a waffle weave though), which is great at removing fingerprints, and greasy smudges.I've tried more microfiber lens cloths than I count over the years and nothing to comes close to these.

I keep micro fiber cloths in every camera bag, back pack and here at the studio.Other style micro cloths get dirty easy and soon begin to smear rather than clean. Some have proven to be almost non-absorbent and this is the problem with the need for absorption without scratching or leaving dust specs behind.These cloths are the very BEST I've come across and I have purchased four of them. Whether you are removing condensation from a lens, or drying off your gear after a sudden rain squall or just polishing filters and lenses before heading off on a shoot, these are my single favorite choice.LARGE, they are large enough that I can always find new cleaning material and I also use them to wrap around smaller lenses, or use as protective wraps in the camera bag.I'm sure they are equally good for glasses, telescopes or binoculars... anywhere where you need spot free cleaning without scratching the surface or wearing down some delicate protective coating.Of course, I use a puffer first, then liquid cleaner, then finishing off with the cloth. Even the Nikon cloths don't work this well... I have retired every other micro fiber cloth I've purchased in favor of the Microdear Microfiber Deluxe Cleaning Cloth... LARGE. Bigger is Better with micro fiber cloths.I would absolutely recommend them to my friends and others. I also promote them when I give any photography seminar as the single best cloth available today for camera equipment maintenance/cleaning.

I bought these to clean my glasses. If you don't wear glasses this may seem expensive to you, but my eyeglasses cost between $300.00 and $400.00. At least that's what they were in 2008, last time I was able to get a pair. The lens cleaning cloths sold in stores for eyeglasses are a complete joke. Those things are tiny and not enough to clean one eyeglass lens. These cloths are large, incredibly soft and absorbent enough that you can use hot water to clean your glasses as I like to. I love these and have been dreaming that something like this might exist for years! One of the best purchases I have ever made. They clean my glasses, don't just smear grease around like other cloths. Now if only I could get a new pair of glasses I could see.

I almost ordered the smaller version,  Adorama Microfiber Deluxe Cleaning Cloth, Small, 7.5" x 10" . But at the last minute, I changed my mind and ordered this larger version. Very glad with this purchase, microdear lives up to all the other reviews. It is very thick and durable, no obnoxious case is attached, and it can actually clean camera lenses. The one I received was pink, not green. No problem for me, just a question of color consistency. If you too are thinking of getting the smaller one, stop! This larger one can clean much more and is great with a variety of cleaners. I am using the  1 oz. Formula MC Lens Cleaner , a great combination.

Never dry clean glasses. Wash the dirt off first with cold or warm water2. Half a drop of drop blue dawn concentrate x3 works better than just a cotton cloth and warm water. That is there is a lot less scrubbing.3. Then gently wipe with this cloth.4. Use a tooth brush and dawn blue dish soap once in a while to clean the nose pads (greasy areas).You must use the right soap or just use water. Avoid any with hand lotion.Some soap leaves a film as can be seen by the TV in the dark test. Other soaps do even worse.I finally gave in to all those people who said try blue dawn with the duck on it. I didn’t use Palmolive went to the store for Blue Dawn. Wow some dish soap actually works very well.Cleaning LCD Screens:Method one.Dampen a Microfiber with distilled water. wipe in circular motionIf you cook in the house, then spray Monster Cleaner's iclean or Vivitar (it's rated good and a lot cheaper) on a cloth and wipe in circular motion. Be very careful if you spray on screen, do not let it run.It takes skill not to smudge your screen with this spray.Home made sprays were doing pretty good but your not really suppose to use vinegar.
