Lens cleaning cloth

mikeanywhere

It got a bit dirty after a gust of wind caught it. Can these be washed, if so how ie washing machine, handwash etc??

Thanks

Better off just using pec pads or kim wipes or some form of disposable wipe anyway, just add a drop or two of eclipse solution. That way you're sure it'll be clean every time you use it as they are only discarded after every use.
I wouldn't wash a lens cloth unless it specifically says to on the pack, all the powders and liquids you'd put in a washing machine will leave a residue on the cloth and you don't know how that would react with the lens coatings.

Eclipse is not the best solution for cleaning lenses or filters. It leaves residue.

You better go for a microfiber cloth and standard glasses cleaner solution. Or something like this:

I stand corrected.
