Reuse of swabs Swabs should be used straight out of the packet, and
never used twice. This is because dust and dirt in the
atmosphere, or from a first cleaning, may collect on your
swab and scratch the surface of your optical device.
Soft tissues
These are available from most stores and distributors of
medical and hygiene products such as supermarkets or
chemists’ shops.
Cellulose tissues We recommend that you do not use normal cotton tissues,
but multi-layered soft tissues made from non-recycled
cellulose. Cellulose tissues are very absorbent and softer.
Consequently, they will not scratch the surface of your
device over time.
Use care when cleaning, and avoid pressing on your
optical device with the tissue. Pressing too hard may lead
to scratches on the surface or misalignment of your
device. Just rub gently over the surface using a small
circular movement.
Reuse of tissues Use only clean, fresh soft tissues and never apply them
twice. Any dust and dirt from the air which collects on
your tissue, or which has gathered after initial cleaning,
may scratch and pollute your optical device.

not produces scratches.
