As soon as the lenses are dry again, remove the cap on the opposite side of the LensPen brush and place the black cleaning attachment – the so called microfiber pad (4) – directly on the lens. Apply gentle pressure of the pen to remove adhering dirt. In slightly circular movements, water stains, for example, can be removed in this way. Cleaning should be carried out dry, as moistening impairs the cleaning effect and can lead to streaking. Due to the round shape of the microfiber pad at the tip of the pen, the inner edge of the objective and eyepiece can also be easily reached.

Scratches on the lenses and corroded coatings reduce transmission and cause light loss and irritation which will result in a poor image quality. Cleaning with a jacket sleeve or a handkerchief is not a good choice, as grease and dust particles will just be wiped around and will smear, damage and cloud the lenses.

Bigger and solid particles should first be carefully removed from the lenses before continuing to clean the lenses. To remove loose dust and coarser residue, use the LensPen brush (1) from the Cleaning Kit or a bellows. The brush can be pushed out via the green button on the LensPen. It is utmost important to carefully and gently remove the finest grains of dust before continuing to clean the lenses. If this is not done properly micro-scratches may occur and will affect the optical performance of your riflescope. If not all contaminations has been removed during dry cleaning, you can hold it under the tap and clean it with warm water. Then follow the steps under point 2.

Oil, grease and fingerprints will harm the coating if they are not removed. Especially warm and humid temperatures will accelerate this process.

Pure alcohol (ethanol, isopropanol) can also be used for cleaning the coated lenses. However, acetone, thinner, petrol and other solvents must not be used. These can react with the lens coating and will result in permanent damage.

Generally, stains caused by fingerprints, rainwater and grease should be removed immediately after using your riflescope, since this can harm your lens coating. We cannot recommend to clean lenses with solvents, because these do not remove the dirt but will spread it.

Contamination with debris and dust particles on the lenses of your riflescope cannot be avoided while hunting or shooting at the range. The eyepiece easily picks up dirt from eyelashes, skin flakes or grease while the objective will pick up dust from a muzzle break or raindrops will cause water stains.

After successful cleaning, store the LensPen by covering it with the cap and sliding the brush back into the pen. Ensure that the microfiber cloth as well as the microfiber pad of the LensPen are always clean. Both can be cleaned under running water, the microfiber cloth can also be washed at 30 °C/86 °F.

Using the combination of cleaning spray (2), microfiber cloth (3) and with an after-treatment with LensPen (4) with its microfiber pad (see point 2) is important. This combination ensures that all residue is completely removed from the optics. Please be aware that paper towels and napkins are not suitable for this purpose!

Remember that the full stop, exclamation mark or question mark goes after the final bracket (unless the brackets contain a complete sentence). Look at these examples:

Raindrops and salt water leave crusty stains on the optics. These have to be moistened first with the cleaning spray (2) and then removed with the microfiber cloth (3). As already mentioned in step 2, the microfiber pad (4) can also be used for this.

Brackets are symbols that we use to contain "extra information", or information that is not part of the main content. Brackets always come in pairs—an "opening" bracket before the extra information, and a "closing" bracket after it. There are two main types of bracket: round () and square []. British English and American English define them differently, as you see below.
