Step 1: The binoculars need to be tilted at an angle to remove the lens caps.
Ocular lenses are the closest to your eyes and can be removed with a protective lens cap.The caps need to be taken off of the larger objective lenses.Pick up the binoculars and tilt the eyepiece to the right.The dirt particles will stick to the lenses even if you blow on them to remove dust.Dust and dirt can fall onto the lens of the binoculars if they are tilted.
Step 2: Dust from the lens can be blown by an air blower pump.
With the binoculars tilted in 1 hand, squeeze a rubber air blower pump on the larger objective lens.Dust and dirt can fall onto your work surface if you don't keep squeezing and blowing.To use the pump on the small ocular lens, turn the binoculars.You can buy air blower pump and other cleaning supplies from a variety of stores.
Step 3: The lens cleaning pen should be wiped over the surface of each lens.
Even though you used the air blower pump, the dirt may still be stuck on the surface.The soft bristle brush end should be wiped over the entire surface of the lenses since you need to remove this surface dirt before wiping them.The bristles of the lens cleaning pen are designed to be gentle on the most delicate lens so they won't scratch your binoculars.
Step 4: A microfiber cloth is sprayed with a cleaning solution.
Remove the cap from your lens cleaning solution by removing a clean microfiber cloth.It's barely moist if you mist the microfiber cloth just once or twice.It's important to use a designated lens cleaning solution.The protective coating on your binocular lens can be removed by household cleaning products.
Step 5: To remove smudges or water spots, wipe the cloth over the lens.
Since there shouldn't be any dirt particles on the lens, you will not scratch it when you rub it.Rub the microfiber cloth over each lens with a circular motion.Rub until you no longer see smudges or spots.Your binoculars are ready to use.If you don't plan on using them right away, you should put the protective caps back on the lens.
Step 6: Only when you see dirt, dust, or smudges can you clean the lens.
The special coating on the lenses can be damaged if you clean them too much.You are more likely to scratch the lens if you clean it more often.Dust, pollen, smudges, or sand can be seen if you wait to clean the lens.If you don't clean your glasses several times a week, they will last longer.

People hold their eyes under water to clean them.Water can get trapped inside the binoculars and grow mold.Even if they say they're waterproof, keep your binoculars dry.Leave the caps off of the binoculars and let them dry out before you store them.
Step 8: If you see something growing on the lens, you should take the binoculars for professional cleaning.
mold can grow if you don't have good seals on your binoculars.Take your binoculars to a professional that cleans them.You can ask photography supply stores if they clean binoculars.
Step 9: It's a good idea to keep your binoculars in their case when you're not using them.
The case protects the binoculars from dirt and dust.Place the binoculars on a clean surface if you don't have a case.Dirt and debris will fall onto the small ocular lens if they are not stood up.If you want to store the binoculars for a short time, place a clean cloth over them and lay them flat.
