Caring For Your Binoculars: TLC tips and suggestions.
by Michael Hodgson
• Never touch binocular lenses with your fingers. Instead, remove grit and grime with a few puffs of a blower brush (found in most photo stores) and then brush away any remaining particles.
• Remove haze and fingerprints by gently wiping with a lens tissue dampened with a drop of lens cleaner.
• Don't leave your binoc's in the hot sun, the trunk of your car or anywhere heat may warp the casing.
• Keep your binoculars stored in a padded nylon or leather case. Add a packet of silica gel to help absorb any moisture.
• Only clean the exterior of your binoculars with a lint-free cotton cloth or a silicon impregnated cloth that some manufacturers supply with your purchase.
