tap water is fine in the real world.....
t shirt or shirt sleeve is ok too just don't use an impregnated lens cloth. |

less may be better
Do not use the cotton cloth either. Parts of your clothing may have dirt or grit which can abrade the optics. Use a special lens cloth or lens tissue. It is possible to clean too much, resulting in "cleaning marks."
