Cleaning Binoculars

Maintaining Binoculars

Binoculars require regular cleaning in order to maintain the clarity of the optics

Cleaning Binoculars

Step 1:

  • Use the Soft-Tek microfiber cloth to wipe down the outside of the binoculars to remove any large dust particles, avoiding the lenses at this time.

Step 2:

  • Begin with the larger optics
  • Use the Ultra Brush to remove large dust or dirt particles, moving from the center of the lens to the outside edges.
  • Canned air products such as Dust Pro may also be used to remove larger dust or dirt particles

Step 3:

  • Use Premium Grade Lens Cleaning Tissue and Formula MC or LensBrite liquid lens cleaner to further clean the lens.
  • Place a few drops of cleaner on the tissue and rub in a circular motion from the center of the lens toward edges.
  • Before the liquid dries, use a dry sheet of tissue and clean in a circular motion until the fluid is gone.

Step 4:

  • Repeat as necessary and immediately replace the lens caps.

Step 5:

  • Repeat steps 2-4 on the smaller lens.
  • It’s recommended that you use just one piece of Premium Grade Lens Tissue folded several times to better fit the smaller lens.

Step 6:

  • With lens caps in place, wipe the binoculars once more with the Soft-Tek microfiber cloth.
