Lens manufacturers say that anything other than a microfiber cloth will damage the coatings on a lens. But microfiber cloths eventually pick up crap and they look like they're a pain to wash.
How do you keep your lenses clean? Are you using cloth/kleenex or microfiber cloths? If you use microfiber cloths, how do you clean those?
Yes exactly, that works fine.
As i understand it, there are microscopic 'bristles' at the end of each thread, which gives it that mild scrub effect.
Adding fabric softener or other things destroy the bristles, permanently.
