Customer Reviews of 3M Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth, Color May Vary, 1 Count
Customer Review: First impressions are good...
Summary: 4 Stars
... I purchased this item to remove some debris off my camcorder lens and found it to do the job very nicely.
The microfiber texture feels nice - a little beady, but soft and textured.
Using it was easy, I just wiped the lens in a circular fashion with light pressure and eventually the debris was gone. (some fingerprints and what appeared to be a scratch but wasn't)
The packaging is a little subpar though. It comes in a plastic bag which you tear open at the bottom to slide the cloth out. However doing so leaves adhesive residue, which the cloth then sticks to and you have to tear it off, making those sections of the cloth appear phyically different - a bit roughed up I'd say. This is poor design as the packaging says to store the cloth inside the bag when not in use to avoid contamination, so I used a scissor to cut the bottom of the bag with the adhesive residue off.
I've yet to machine wash it, but so far it works well. It's just a cheap lens cleaning cloth after all.
Customer Review: Good but serious flaw!!
Summary: 3 Stars
Read the back of the package - particles collect on this cloth and will scratch the surface!! Unfortunately this problem pretty much ruins the concept.
I learned the hard way - fresh out of the pack the wipes were great - I have been struggling to find something to clean my expensive eye-glasses, plus other lenses. I thought I finally found what I need...BUT...
After a couple days I used the cloth and it scratched up the surface with little "micro" scratches - like the surface was roughed with sandpaper. So my glasses are not sharp anymore. Ruined. Then I read the fine print in back - dust must collect on the cloth and then ruin everything.
Frankly, only disposable cloth makes sense because of this. PLEASE DON'T RUIN YOUR EXPENSIVE LENSES!!! Be CAREFUL with these. Sorry 3M - nice try - but need a disposable version.
Customer Review: Fatal Flaw - 3M Lens Cleaner
Summary: 1 Stars
This product has been renamed to 3M Lens & Electronics Microfiber Cleaning Cloth - the "& Electronics" part is new. It used to be the best product for cleaning eyeglasses - mine have an anti-glare/anti-reflective coating and the old cleaning cloths did a wonderful job of cleaning them. I bought 5 more for myself and for stocking stuffers at Christmas, and along with the new name, there apparently is a new formulation because they now leave tiny specks all over my glasses which have to be WASHED OFF. I called 3M "customer service" directly about this and the young lady at the other end of the line was cutesy, apologetic, but clueless - and didn't even offer a refund or replacement (I did not ask for one - that's their job the way I look at it). Too bad to lose such a great product.Customer Review: the end all solution...
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never heard of these things before nor had I heard anybody talk about them...I just randomly bought them from amazon and I have to tell you...if you wear glasses...these are ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSIBLE. It's honestly, besides maybe my mp3 player, my toothbrush, and my wallet, the only item I use daily and it is a very effective product for its size and price. I use them almost exclusively on my glasses but they say you can use them on all kinds of stuff like computer monitors and so on...I have yet to try it on them, but when you wipe these things over your lenses, there is a definite feeling of them getting clean...If you're looking for a pocket sized solution to keep things clean, this is it.Customer Review: Works well, but for $4 it should come with a pouch.
Summary: 4 Stars
Microfiber work very well as eye glass cleaning cloth. Because it clean on a microscopic scale, some tests suggest microfiber cleaning reduce bacteria by 99% compare to 33% using conventional cloth. That's why I use it to clean the frame too.
As mentioned by others, the microfiber cloth itself is soft enough to not scratch but whatever it picks up may. For that reason, I never leave the microfiber cloth in my pocket or bag. I carry it inside a small pouch.
If 3M make the cloth bigger and attach a pocket to it so cloth can be folded into the pocket when not used, it will make the product "safer" to use and easier to carry.
