Cleaning binoculars, scopes and eye glasses.

What do you use to clean them with? Has anyone used alcohol?

Use isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) on the lenses. Use a lint-free cloth or a soft cotton cloth once the lens are moistened. The body can be wiped with a damp cloth.

I have several boxes of Zeiss pre-moistened lens cloth to clean my glasses and hunting optics. In the field, I carry a lens pen.

If you get sand or dirt on the lense try using a can of compressed air and a lense brush to remove the dirt first. Dirt and sand will scratch the coating even if its wet.
I have a couple of cameras and I use the same "cleaning kit" and methods on all my lenses.
A dirty lense is better than a scratched one any day.
If you need a cleaning kit go to a photography supply store.

I always hit mine with the compressed air before moving forward.... I have a large spray bottle of Zeiss something or the other and then the soft lens cloths...

I found these from an automotive glass tainting shop. It's ammonia free and safe with metal and plastics. Cleans the lens very well. Make sure though to blow all the dust and other debris from the lens using air before spraying the lens with these stuff.

For normal use non hunting I use the same lense cleaner I get from the eye doctor on all my optics and eye glasses.

When going hunting I use "Scope Dope" link below on them there similar products around that will do the same,good stuff. I picked this up at a close by Sportmans Warehouse.
