Noelle,
We recommend first using a blower to remove any dust/particles that may damage
the objective lens.
You can then use a lens cloth and denatured alcohol. Do NOT use isopropyl
alcohol or other harsh cleaning chemicals, which can remove the coating on the
outer surface of the objective lense.
Sincerely,
Hugo Hur
