Why is a top end product microfiber lens fabric so much more effective at lens cleaning, than other cloths? According to Wikipedia, a microfiber is any artificial fiber finer than one point three denier. That is one hundredth the diameter of a person's hair, and one twentieth of the diameter of a strand of silk. The average thickness of a human hair is 100 micron to 200 micron, that's one, ten-thousandth of a metre. So at 1 micron to 2 micron thick, a microfiber is very thin. Quality cloths made for cleaning optical surfaces such as spectacles, phones and cams are lens safe. Use the higher-end proprietary woven lens cloths. They are normally 100 % polyester cloths utilizing 2 micron filaments. The ultra-fine microscopic fibers are so small that they become readily absorbent. This means they clean-off all those lots of sorts of oils that we use, and secrete from our skin. Not just that, they hold onto those oil particles, by bonding at a molecular level, so they clean without leaving a residue. It truly is as easy as that! A high quality clean microfiber lens fabric (like the LenPre lens fabric), will certainly be safe for all sorts of lenses. Safe for all lenses, including plastic, mineral and A R covered lenses. Nevertheless, you should make sure that there are no grit particles on the lens surface area, before cleaning. Grit can still scratch, unless you take care! Likewise, do make sure that no grit has actually ended up being transferred in the lens fabric itself before use, while in your pocket or purse. For this reason, it is advised that you just buy lens cloths which are separately wrapped in their own pouch.
