[QUOTE="aroy, post: 294926, member: 16090"] Unless you have older multi coated filters which can get damaged, use plain running water with a bit of mild soap (baby soap is the mildest), and shake most of the water off, before wiping them dry. On word of caution, certain spectacle lense cleaners may destroy/damage the filter coatings, so avoid all but cleaners certified for plastic lenses. With older multi coated filters, use the swipes used for sensor cleaning. The best maintenance free filters come with anti smudge and hard scratch resistance coating, like the B+W MRC and the Hoya HD range. These just repel most of the common substances like oil, water and dust.
