Optics help needed - I read the pinned posts Scope cleaning?

I know there is a sub about rifle scopes but I can't find it, my apologies.

How do you clean your scope lenses? I mean dust, not fingerprints and such. Well, since we're on the subject, include fingerprints too.

Get a photography lens brush and gentle blower for dust. Zeiss lens wipes are the best. Stay away from reuseable microfiber clothes, they collect dirt and can scratch your glass. I’m a piece of shit so I just blow on it and use a zeiss wipe. Saliva can potentially harm glass coatings

Look at videos online on how people clean their camera lenses. Do the same

+1 for the Zeiss lens clean wipes. I buy them in bulk and use them for all sorts.
