Lens cleaning tissues.

On the good tips here for lens cleaning tissues I went to Wally World. I don't feel like I got what you good folk here were talking about. In the optical dept. there were 21 individully sealed wipes in a box of 21 for ~$4. At the jewelry dept. was one reseal able package of 20 pre-moistened anti-static & fog tissues for $1. All stated they good for lenses. In my heart, I just dont think either of these are what you folk are referring to. Can someone be a bit more explicit for what I need to look for? Thanks

Johanna, they are in the photo/computer department at my Walmart. Apparently different stores stock them in different places.

Basic lens cleaning tools are a blower, a microfiber cloth, and lens cleaning fluid (my favorite: Zeiss). Try to blast dust off the lens with the blower or canned air. Finger prints can be removed with a circular wipe of the new miracle micro fiber cloth (my favorite brand is Pentax because it is nice and thick; about $6). Persistent dirt should be removed with lens cleaning fluid, of which the safest is probably Kodak. Always drip the fluid onto the cloth and then wipe the lens; never put fluid directly onto a lens.

Yes they can.

Just remember that photo lens cleaning tissues (like the Zeiss) are best, in part, because they are designed not to affect the lens coating.
I still prefer a micro-fiber cloth and my breath - if the blower or brush fails.
On the other hand, maybe someone knows the chemical contents of the average person's breath and knows a reason it shouldn't be used? Is it affected by garlic and onions?

the lens tissues have a very strong heady smell when you open the sealed pack. I have heard that some young ppl breath in that smell to get some sort of drug high. has anyone else heard that ??
