1. Clean the lens with a soft lens brush. Blower is not needed or necessary, and it will blow dust onto the lens too, anyway.
2. Clean the lens with a microfiber lens cloth with a tiny amount of lens cleaning fluid sprayed into it. Cleaning without fluid seems weird, either it needs cleaning or it does not, and if it needs cleaning you WILL get smudges without.
With cleaning fluid you do not have to apply pressure at all, so never a chance of scratching even IF there would be a corn of sand somewhere.
3. Then softly wipe again with a dry part of the microfiber lens cleaning cloth.
Lens will be totally clean now.
Lens cleaning tissues which are dry are smudge monsters, in my experience. Lens cleaning tissues with lens cleaning fluid are very wet, find it hard to work with.
