After purchasing an optical component, exercising proper care can maintain its quality and extend its usable lifetime. Choosing the proper cleaning supplies and using the proper techniques are as important as cleaning the component itself. Improper cleaning practices can damage polished surfaces or specialized coatings that have been used on a substrate or lens. Always check with the manufacturer of the component to determine proper care and cleaning proceduresMaterials used for cleaning most optical components include pressurized gas (filtered dry nitrogen), lint-free lens tissue, mild soap, lint-free cotton swabs, lint or powder-free gloves and an organic solvent, such as reagent-grade isopropyl alcohol, reagent-grade acetone, or lens cleaning solution. The following are general guidelines but, because results differ, there are no guarantees
