Every week or two I just throw them in the wash and then the dryer. I just bought a couple more 3M Microfiber Cleaning Cloths from Walmart in the eyeglass section so I can keep them in different locations, like one in my car, one in my pocket and one in my camera bag.

He doesn't use dryer sheets, says it helps avoid smearing. "There is no point in having sharp images when you've fuzzy ideas." - Godard

I do rinse them in RO water as we have a really high mineral content here. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

DO NOT use fabric softener sheets when drying them. Canon 60D,18-55mm,55-250mm,50mm compact macro, AF ext tubes. Sigma 8-16mm uwa, 18-250mm, 85mm F1.4, 150-500mm
