Lint free cloth

[AP1875]

Does anyone know of a cloth that is truly lint free?

ive bought 3 different types now - recommend stuff on amazon 5* (probably all paid reviews) to Selvyt and they all leave lint on the surface when cleaning a watch glass, which is completely counterproductive. The glass should be spotless under a 5x loupe.

im using a steam cleaner, lens pen and then  Bergeon 7007-26 to remove the last remaining particles. If I could get a cloth that was truly lint free that could clean smears and didn’t leave crap all over the glass it would be a massive win..

I have only ever found one cloth that is truly lint-free and removes smudges flawlessly. They are smallish, but they do the job.

They will eventually trap enough grease and oil to cause smudges, but the beauty of them is they can be washed and reused. I always have at least two on my bench.

Hi Some years ago when working on disc drives we had  lint free squares for wiping cleaned heads, wether such things are still available these days I an not sure, They were also used to clean magnetic tape heads on tape drives. some medical swabs if you can get them will be lint free.

This might not be a exactly a cloth, Kimtech science precision wipe,  but I still use if for both my camera lenses and watch crystals.

Works like a treat and guaranteed lint free.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately the first cloth is not available in the UK and the second one HSL posted is £86 for the box instead of $40
