iKlear

[onlyonejc]

Hi.

I was just wondering whether iKlear ( http://www.klearscreen.com/ ) is safe to clean the sensor on my Canon 350D with. I was thinking of using it on a DigiPad (



).

I only ask, because I already have some of it to clean my computer screen with (but it also states that it is for cleaning precision optics, too). I've used it on my kit-lens on an iKlear Micro-Chamois cloth (really soft, 'non-damaging' cloth), and that worths like a dream.

But, is it safe to use it on the sensor glass?

It is anti-static and alchohol-free, so I can only prosume it will be fine. But, I just thought I'd check with the Pro's!

I'll get some Eclipse, if I'm warned against it.

Thanks,
onlyone-jc.

I wouldn't use it. I checked their web site, and found that iKlear (AKA Klear Screen if you use other than an Apple) is alcohol free, and saw no recommendation for optical glass there. There was no indication that I could find of what iKlear actually contains as a cleaning agent. Most recommendations for cleaning sensor filters when using a liquid involves a very high percentage of very pure isopropyl alcohol, at least in part to speed drying so the cleaning solution doesn't gather in more dirt.
