About this deal

In this practical guide you'll learn the do's and don'ts of cleaning camera lenses. We'll show you the best practices and common pitfalls, so you can get the most out of your images! A Microfibre cloth is a one-off expense as it can be reused, but over time can become less effective with wear and tear. The cloth itself will need cleaning now and again, and make sure to give it a shake every time before you use it. This will help remove any potential dust and dirt. Now that you know the safest and most effective steps for cleaning camera lenses, it's time for the pitfalls. Avoid these three common mistakes, or you may end up with dirtier (or worse, damaged) lenses. Most camera lens cleaning solutions contain isopropyl-alcohol, so there's a low risk of causing damage by using it. Many photographers would scream upon reading this, but hear us out. If you're out of cleaning fluid, then the condensation from breathing on your lens can lift dirt and grime when wiped with a cloth.

To be extra safe, only use rubbing alcohol with a high percentage of purity. The purer the alcohol, the less additive ingredients which can contaminate lenses. 95% purity is a good benchmark. Can you clean camera lenses with glasses cleaner? Although, this is another DIY method that we're against. The less you use a microfibre cloth, the less wear and tear (as mentioned earlier). It's best to have a separate one for your camera. Lens cleaning wipes are cheap, have pre-applied cleaning fluid, and are disposable. Although affordable, over time the cost of replacements will likely add up to more than a microfibre cloth. Use a soft-bristle lens brush if, after using the air blower, you can still see dust or particles on the lens. Get your brush and gently wipe the lens surface and inside edge of the lens barrel. Keep holding the lens at a downward angle and try not to touch the brush bristles. You might be able to save a few quid if you have any of the following items lying around your house.A good lens cleaning solution will leave no smears or smudges and can be used sparingly. Apply a couple of sprays or drops and you're good to wipe.

If, upon inspection, you find any signs of dirt and/or dust, go to step two. Otherwise, put the lens away, grab the next one, and repeat your inspection. This one comes down to personal preference. You can use glasses lens cleaner for camera lenses… but the question is, do you really want to? Make sure your lens caps and cases are also clean. Otherwise, you risk dirtying the lens again straight away.

Most camera lenses have an optical coating of magnesium fluoride and/or silicon monoxide to help with light transmission. These are scratch-resistant, but glasses cleaner isn't designed with them in mind. To wipe a camera lens, you can use either a microfibre lens cloth or lens cleaning wipes. Both have pros and cons. Water contains minerals such fluoride and chlorine which can be harmful to glass and may leave residues. Hard water (water with a high mineral concentration) could even leave micro scratches on lenses. You'll also need lens cleaning fluid to use with your microfibre cloth. It comes in either spray or liquid form, and you should always apply it to the cloth to avoid damaging the lens. Visit us and you'll always find a friendly welcome.
