Binorum UltraClean Optical 30 x 30 cm Microfiber Cleaning Cloth
Professional-Grade Optical Care
Optical surfaces of telescopes, eyepieces, and filters are exceptionally sensitive to mechanical influences, making the quality of cleaning materials critically important. These precision optical elements require cleaning cloths that meet stringent quality standards and contain absolutely no abrasive elements that could damage delicate coatings or glass surfaces. The Binorum UltraClean Optical cleaning cloth is precisely engineered for this demanding application, representing the perfect solution for maintaining your valuable astronomical and photographic equipment.
Advanced Microfiber Technology
The fabric utilized in Binorum UltraClean cloths is manufactured from premium microfiber - a material that represents the culmination of modern textile technology applied to optical care. Unlike ordinary cleaning cloths, the microfiber employed in these cloths features a specialized cross-sectional structure that fundamentally changes how dirt and dust are managed during the cleaning process. This unique fiber geometry prevents collected contaminants and dust particles from being redistributed back onto the optical surface - instead, particles are firmly captured and retained within the internal structure of the cloth, ensuring truly clean results with every use.
Universal Optical Applications
Binorum UltraClean cloths are suitable for cleaning a comprehensive range of optical equipment and devices:
- Telescope objective lenses and corrector plates

Proper Cleaning Technique
When cleaning the surface of an optical instrument, place the cloth against the surface using either side and employ gentle circular motions to remove accumulated dirt and fingerprints. The microfiber structure works most effectively with light pressure - excessive force is unnecessary and potentially counterproductive.
For particularly stubborn dirt or dried-on contaminants, resist the temptation to increase pressure. Instead, slightly moisten the surface you're working on with a small amount of appropriate optical cleaning solution or distilled water, then continue with the same gentle circular motions. The combination of moisture and the microfiber's unique structure will safely lift even persistent contaminants without risk to the optical coating.
Key Advantages

- Effective dry or slightly dampened
- Generous 30 x 30 cm size provides ample cleaning area
- Lint-free performance ensures streak-free results
- Washable and reusable - economical long-term solution
- Soft texture won't scratch even the most delicate coatings
Maintenance and Care
To maintain optimal cleaning performance, periodically wash the Binorum UltraClean cloth using mild detergent and warm water. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh chemicals that can compromise the microfiber structure. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Regular washing removes accumulated oils and particles, restoring the cloth's cleaning effectiveness.
Storage Recommendations
Store the cloth in a clean, dry location when not in use - ideally in a sealed plastic bag or container to prevent dust accumulation. Keep the cloth separate from tools or other items that might transfer contaminants. Having multiple cloths allows rotation while others are being laundered, ensuring you always have a clean cloth available for optical maintenance.
When to Clean Your Optics
Clean optical surfaces only when necessary - overcleaning can be more harmful than occasional dust accumulation. Visible fingerprints, water spots, or substantial dust buildup warrant cleaning. Minor dust particles that don't affect image quality can often be removed with a gentle puff of air from a blower bulb, reserving cloth cleaning for when it's truly needed.
