According to the lensrental blog (link posted earlier) they avoid using microfiber clothes on lens surfaces because of the possibility of the cloth containing some grit from a previous use which could scratch a lens. It's hard to argue with a company that rents and sells lenses as their bread and butter. I have personally used microfiber clothes on lens surfaces (most of the time it's the surface of a filter) without doing any noticeable damage but I am rethinking about it.
I read that as well, and just ordered 50 Zeiss moistened cleaning pads on Ebay. I will save the microfiber for my phone and computer screens. I have always babied my glass and will continue to do so.
