Optical Lens Cleaner 2 Oz Spray Bottle

I purchased this two years ago and had it in a closet with my camera equipment. It sat there for all that time not having been used once. I came across it yesterday and decided to put it to some use. First I cleaned my reading glasses and the result was unbelievable even though I clean those glasses several times a day. Next I tried them on a pair of very expensive sunglasses with much trepidations. The results were even better! In the past 24 hours I have used them on my cellphone which has a screen protector film on it, on my tablet which doesn't have a film and on my large-screen TI calculator which has a plastic screen. In EVERY case the screens were not only ultra clean, but they looked polished and even rejuvenated (if that is possible). I am a chemist and I would sure like to know what is in this product. How can an oil remover do so much and work safely on so many varied surface material. I am truly impressed and would heartily recommend this to anyone who is a stickler for lenses/screen cleanliness. It is a great product (even after two years) and is worth every penny.

I have used The ROR Residual Oil Cleaner cleaner extensively and have been very pleased with the streak free results. The premoistened Zeiss cleaning cloths also do an outstanding job on most oils and grimes, but couldn't help when one of my kids left a greasy pizza print on the anti-glare screen of our TV. Fortunately ROR easily removed it with only a few wipes. I highly recommend removing as much dust and dirt from the lens as possible with any one of the purpose built compressed air canisters freely available and an ultra soft camel hair brush before wiping the lens. Waterproof binoculars and eyeglass lenses can be safely rinsed with warm water first in order to ensure complete removal of all dust and debris. Keep in mind that no one solvent or cleaning agent is going to be effective on every single type of grease, grime and dirty films that anti-glare coatings seem to attract. Having said that though, I have yet to find any oil, grease or grime that either of these two couldn't effectively remove, and usually without too much effort too. Note that both of the above will leave slight streaking when the cloths are very moist. Fortunately they evaporate quickly and if you continue to rub in light circles until it's almost dry will leave the cleaned surface streak and blemish free. I am not a big fan of lens pens, not because they don't work. My experience has been that they work very well, but I don't use them because the risk is too high that I may have missed a tiny piece of grit which the lens pen will then rub into the AR coating and probably scratch it. As an aside, long before Modern Photography folded, Herbert Keppler recommended the Microdear microfiber cleaning cloths as the thickest, softest and most absorbent available. I have used close to 100 different brands over the past 30 years, and IMHO this is still the best one to date, and is available on Amazon in different sizes. Wash it in hot water without any fabric softeners. Do not dry it in the dryer, it's better to hang it up to dry after squeezing as much water out of it as possible. Listed below are the ROR ingredients from the MDS posted on their web site: Ammonia 26° = 0.775% Sodium Chloride = 0.830% Isopropyl Alcohol = 4.266% Liquid Soap = 9.011% Distilled Water = 85.118% Gotta go now as I think I see a speck of dirt on one of my lenses....

I have used this on eye glasses, phones, and computer screens and keyboards. It leaves things squeaky clean and residue-free. If you use this as directed, you will get a cleaner lens than I've been able to achieve with any but one product that was discontinued. Rinse and air dry your lenses to get dust off. Spray on a clean microfiber cloth and wipe your glasses or other surface. And then use the dry part of the cloth to wipe the glasses and clear residue. Do NOT spray on the surface to be cleaned. I haven't been able to get to the VERY edge of the lenses on my eye glasses with this technique, because a cloth doesn't get to the corner, but other than that this product is flawless.

I've used this product for a few years to clean the lenses for my camera and it does that very well. And no, it does NOT leave a film..or anything else that's difficult to remove. When used with a proper cloth, it will leave the glass squeaky clean. I prefer a very soft, very well worn, and highly worn old 100% cotton T shirt that has all the lint finally worn out of it. Spray the cloth..not the lens..and work quickly before evaporation sets in. Wipe dry with a different part of the cloth and then use a lens brush to kick off any small pieces of lint that may have come loose. Now for the real reason I'm writing this. This stuff is also an excellent cleaner for CD's, DVD, and probably BluRay also. It's highly safe for polycarbonate plastic. My disc collection contains both CD's and SACD's and I definitely appreciate the latter. Many of the SACD's are a hybrid type, containing both standard and SACD content, which is separated in the disc by an extremely small distance. Proper playback requires extreme precision to differentiate the two layers..and it doesn't take much to disturb the process. Lately I've been having issues with my older player finding the SACD layer and I had put it all down to older tech. After all it is an early generation player. But it still bugs me. I tried cleaning the spindle and clamp inside and that got me nowhere. So I tried this today..flip the disc upside down to hold it, a few spritzes of ROR, and careful wipe to work it in and then a wipe with a dry area on the cloth. Voila! The SACD logo is now lighting up with regularity...thankfully, because I didn't want to replace the player right now.

I used to believe the critics - Why would a $12 two-ounce bottle of cleaning fluid beat out the 99% alcohol aerosol or fluid? I've used the alcohol-based sprays before and I thought they did a fine job - until I had come across a monitor with some caked on oil-based stains. The alcohol spray just wouldn't do the trick. If you're like me, you also don't like the idea of putting soap on a display or any other chemicals in a desperate attempt to clean it. ROR however cleaned it up with no trouble at all. I highly recommend ROR because it always works, even where aerosols fail to do the trick. I've also used this stuff liberally and the two-ounce spray bottles last me years. Yes, years. If you are using this for personal electronics and not your 50-inch TV then this will last you a very long time. This stuff is meant for lenses and small-sized electronics. It also works great with plastic and metal chassises for your electronics too. Anything bigger than a 24-inch display monitor and you'll want to use this as a spot cleaner for anything that the alcohol aerosol won't get rid of.

I bought this on the recommendation of cleaning telescope eyepieces and have now used it a number of times. It is an excellent cleaner and removes all the contaminants upon the lens with relatively ease. It can leave some residue that can be remove with alcohol but cleans better than just using alcohol and other cleaners I have. Well worth getting a bottle and also great at cleaning my readers.

There are many different ways of removing crud and spots from photographic lenses and filters. Some are good, others are better, and some are there when all other methods fail. Have used ROR Residual Oil...

That sprayed on a microfiber took the schmaltz right off my 6 month old laptop screen and made my Nikon lenses look renewed. Bottle too small. I can use this up pretty quickly getting caught up on all the dirty glasses and screens!
