Frequently Asked Questions About Microfibre Cloth

What should you not clean with a microfibre cloth?

You should never clean the sensitive image sensor of your camera with a standard microfibre cloth. For the sensor, you need special swabs and cleaning solutions to prevent damage. Use the cloth exclusively for the exterior of your camera, the screen, and the glass of your lenses.

What is a microfibre cloth good for?

A microfibre cloth is ideal for safely removing dust, light stains, and fingerprints from your camera and lenses. The fine fibres attract and hold onto dirt, preventing scratches on the glass. This keeps your optics in top condition and maintains the highest image quality.

What are the best microfibre cloths for photographers?

The best cloths for photographers are specifically made for optical glass and do not contain coarse weaves or hard edges. Brands that specialise in camera maintenance offer cloths that are lint-free and effectively absorb grease. It is very important that the cloth is extremely soft, so that the special coatings on your lenses remain intact.

How should you best wash a microfibre cloth?

You should hand wash the cloth in lukewarm water with a small amount of mild detergent. Absolutely avoid using fabric softener, as this leaves a greasy residue that causes streaks on your lens. Allow the cloth to air dry thoroughly before placing it back in your camera bag.
