Lens manufacturers say that anything other than a microfiber cloth will damage the coatings on a lens. But microfiber cloths eventually pick up crap and they look like they’re a pain to wash.
How do you keep your lenses clean? Are you using cloth/kleenex or microfiber cloths? If you use microfiber cloths, how do you clean those?
I’ve had great luck with the skip the drier cycle option for cleaning the microfiber cloths and sponges I use to wash my car. I think that’s what damages sensitive clothing the most.
And always wash everything with the shortest cycle and cold water lol
