Purosol Natural Lens Cleaner 4oz
It has been over a year since my eyeglasses were this clean, super-sharp, and streak/reflection free. But, using Purosol and their related microfiber cleaning cloth, one short burst on each side was all it took.
Mind you - I've been using traditional eyeglass cleaner (and microfiber cloths) for years. But in the end, the lenses are tough to clean the first time - and you have to work to get the streaks out (my eyeglasses have a non-reflective coating).
Next, I tried Purosol on my Nikon DSLR lens, and once again outstanding streak-free results. For a camera lens, however, I would recommend following the included instructions by spraying a small amount on the cloth and THEN using it to clean the lens, rather than letting the cleaner get into the edge of the lens.
Finally, I cleaned 3 non-glare LCD monitors (a 15" laptop, 20" LCD, and 30" LCD). The 30" (Apple Cinema) is notoriously difficult to clean, even with the microfiber cloth that Apple provides. Using Purosol, focusing on half the screen at a time, and using circular motions as recommended cleaned all 3 monitors to like-new. It doesn't get any better than this.
Add the alcohol-free, non-toxic properties and I'm simply blown away. Yes, it's more expensive than cheap solutions, but you don't need to use as much and the results are stunning. I would gladly pay more (although I hope Purosol doesn't read this!)

This is the safest cleaner you can get. It won't hurt lens coatings, and generally is streak-free (except when my oily nose comes in contact with the lens).

I've used Pancro for almost 10 years. It's very common in the photography and film business. I couldn't find it on Amazon and took a chance ordering this cleaner. So far so good. Cleans very similar to Pancro but doesn't have the smell that is so common with Pancro. No residue and seems good cleaning other items as well, LCD's, Plasma screens and basically my entire MacBook Pro. Keep in mind make sure the micro fiber cloth you use has not been washed with fabric softener. Fabric softener will remove antireflective coatings on your expensive lenses. I don't even send my cloths through the washer, instead I soak them in a bowl with a touch of dish soap and then rinse it out many many times and let it air dry. Seems I found a replacement Pancro with the same results. Good product.
BalasHapusI was a little skeptical that the Purosol All Natural Lens Cleaner would be any different from your standard lens cleaner, but it is indeed! The product very gently breaks up the dirt and grime on your glasses, LCD screens, etc. When you rub off the product with the included cleaning cloth, you get a spotless, streak free surface. The cleaner doesn't contain any harsh chemicals, which means special coatings like anti-glare glasses are not harmed in the cleaning process. I will definitely purchase this product again to protect our expensive items like eyeglasses, GPS, laptop screens, etc. I think the added expense is worth it.
BalasHapusWhile all the other purported differences between this cleaner and others were certainly persuasive, the one that made the decision for me was the claim that it would reduce dust collection. I am happy to report that, as far as I can tell, it did reduce the dust collected on the various surfaces I tried it on - our camcorder, our camera, some dvds, and even my husband's glasses. While I would love to say that I never have to dust any of these again, that is not the case and that is not the claim they made. It did, however, extend the time between dustings. Since dusting anything falls on the bottom of my "chores I like to do" list, I was very pleased.
BalasHapusIn addition to less dusting, I also noticed that cleaning seemed a bit easier and they seemed cleaner than they usually do after a good cleaning. I really like that it is made of "non-toxic, hypoallergenic, nonflammable, sterile and completely biodegradable" materials. Those glasses perch right on my dearest one's nose and I hate to think of harsh chemicals so close to his eyes and nose. So in addition to everything else I like about it, it also gives me peace of mind.
I've been using "regular" lens cleaning solution for my SLR lens with microfiber cloth for years, and I didn't have much complaint. It's just those solutions probably are mostly distilled water, just didn't see those solutions do much on the lens itself. I just cleaned the lens with gentle elbow grease I guess... Then I heard about Purosol from my colleagues and thought to give it a try. It sprays like any other solution, but it does wipe off dirt and prints without much rubbing at all. Apply the solution to the lens (or a piece of microfiber cloth) and sort of very lightly rub the lens with circular motion, and the dirt disappears. I guess it is water-based so it does not dry immediately, but it does not leave any visible streak at all. One thing I am very impressed about is after I wipe the lens, if I blow my breath on the lens to see streaks, there are a lot fewer streaks than what I would see with other solution, or water alone. All I need to do is to very lightly buff the surface of the lens, then I don't see ANY streaks. This cleaner is totally worth the money and to protect your investment in lens, there is no better cleaning solution out there.

BalasHapusLens cleaner is something I use every day due to the fact that I have approximately $550 worth of eyeglasses perched on my nose. With age comes more and more expensive glasses - I'm up to "high refractive index" lens (to avoid the coke-bottle lens syndrome), progressives (to avoid bi- and tri-focal lines), transition (to darken outside), non-scratch, anti-reflective (cut glare), titanium frames (lightweight). With all this technology perched on my nose, I understandably want to treat these marvels of innovation with care and avoid scratches and damage. To that end, I've used "anti-reflective-coating-safe" cleaners and microfiber cloths for years.
BalasHapusPurosol Molecular Lens Cleaner is impressive...and different from other cleaners. When you first spray it on a lens, you know you're working with a different cleaner from those you pick up at the local vision center. I was surprised to see the spray bead up on the lens; other cleaners may foam slightly and there is evidence of surfactants (the other sprays spread across the lens with no beading). This beading of the Purosol had me concerned at first (no solvent effect of breaking surface tension), but not to worry. The product insert states "Purosol's solvent-free formula used the latest in green chemistry to break the molecular bonds that dust, dirt and grime use to adhere to the lens" and it works beautifully. I ran several tests where, after an active day, and plenty of dust, cooking spatters or high pollen counts, I tried regular solvent-based cleaner on one lens, Purosol on the other. In every case, the Purosol lens was spotless with no streaks - every bit as clean as the other lens, but Purosol does it using, as the manufacturer states, "organic plant extracts instead of traditional solvents and contains no alcohol, ammonia or detergent and is free of silicone, graphite and glycerin. It is also streak-free and leaves an anti-static barrier which repels dust..." The bottle of Purosol comes with its own cleaning cloth and it seems to work better with the included cloth than the microfiber cloth my lenses came with.
With regards to the "dust repellent" claim - I don't know. For several days, I cleaned my lenses in the morning, again, one with Purosol and one with a solvent-based lens cleaner, then went about my daily business. By the end of the day, I would examine both lenses to see if I could detect any difference in the amount of fine dust particles on the lens - there wasn't a difference that I could detect with the naked (and very near-sighted) eye. Nevertheless, I wouldn't discount this cleaner for that reason. It does an extremely good job of getting the lenses spotless, leaves no streaks and does it without toxic chemicals. That makes it a winner in my book.
