I have been using them (yes, plural!) for about two years and like them a
lot. They do not last forever -- I tried washing the cleaning pad once it
seemed to start streaking instead of cleaning and that does not work very
well; time for a new pen when that happens. Also, they cannot handle heavy
dirt or anything except fingerprint smudges basically.
Thus, my recommendations: get one of those 4" square cleaning cloths
(opticians give them with a pair of glasses in many cases) for the heavy
cleaning. These last forever and are washable. You can use a lens cleaning
solution with these for the really bad cases. For the daily dusting and
cleaning, I then use the Lenspen.
Scientific? No! Just my experience.
Best,
Joe McDaniel
