I just use a blower then a very soft cloth!

Check out the blower and the cleaning kit here http://www.cleyspy.co.uk/accessories-c92.html

I take no responsibility for the consequences of licking yesterday's lunch off of a lens

I do it, but then again I reason that after many years of eating fruits off of the floor in tropical jungles and having thousands of bird ringing bags in my mouth (when you run out of hands, you have to put them somewhere), I have enough aggressive parasites on board that they will fight off just about anything...

Happy birding!
