My goal is not to get my lens or filter dirty so it does not need cleaning.
If it does I have a Lens pen brush to clean off any dust.
Then I use a high quality lens cleaner with lens tissue. Zeiss has combined both into a single one time use lens wipe. If you keep UV filter on your lens, you should have no need to clean that lens.
I agree, The number of times I have seen photographers scrubbing their lenses, I'm sure doing more (possibly permanent) harm than good. Use a blower first (I have a Giotto), if necessary a blower brush, and as a last resort very gently wipe with an appropriate tissue or lens cloth
