12.2 Projector lenses

General guidelines for cleaning projector lenses

Blow off dust with clean compressed air (or pressurized air cans) .

Use lens cleaner and a clean lens cleaning cloth to remove the dust and contamination.

Wipe in broad strokes, in one direction only.

Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.

Use a dry clean lens cleaning cloth to remove left liquid or stripes. Polish with small circles.

If there are still fingerprints on the surface, repeat with lens cleaner and a clean lens cleaning cloth, then polish again with a dry cloth.

Note: If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.
