I recently came across Purosol lens cleaner on Edmund Optics site. It's also at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Purosol-Natural-Lens-Cleaner-4oz/dp/B000W8OZE2/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1433350965&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=purosol
I ordered some to give it a try. Normally, I use ROR.
In addition I picked up some cleaning cloths: http://www.amazon.com/MagicFiber%C2%AE-Premium-Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloths/dp/B0050R68LS/ref=pd_sim_421_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=00BZCRFJXTQ13TKC5MWE
I avoid cleaning lenses, unless they are really dirty. I have a few lenses that have been sitting for years, though, and they needed a good cleaning, as I'm almost ready to install my 8x10 portrait camera in my studio.
I used the following method:
1) I used a foot operated air pump to blow off dust,
2) I used a soft brush to get rid any stubborn dust,
3) I used Purosol on a scanner wipe to apply the cleaner to the glass, turning the wipe so that one area wasn't dragged all over the lens.
4) I used the micro fiber cloth to finish the cleaning.
This procedure worked very well. I prefer the Purosol to any other cleaner that I've used.
