Andrew* Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I noticed the lovely shiny blue microfibre cloth that came with Baader Optical Wonder cleaning fluid was getting greasy and dirty, so following the washing instructions and popped it on a 40 wash with teh rest of my clothes and drip-dried it.Now it's dull-looking and much less silky than before. Anyone else tried this and what did you find?Would there be anything wrong with using the cloth again?cheersAndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I would expect that the conditioner has effected the microfibre.Try rewashing with a non bio powder and without conditioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ketans Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hallo Daz,How come sandblast? :shock:Sandblasting will make texture on the lenses., which is used to photograph the moon-crater faced models. Washing the fabric in medium hot water and mild liquid handwash does fine job.I use Chamois leather to clean lenses. It is the softest sheet of leather and a softest cloth around in the photography field.Ketan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
