Giotto's has a cleaning system i guess you would call it. Microfiber cloth, rocket blower, cleaning solution, brush, and special Q-tips.
Here's what I bought from B&H a few months ago, and it works great.

Take a look at the Lens Pen. I carry one in each of my camera bags.....just in case. 
For general cleaning, I use a Giotto blower, lens brush, then the Lens Pen. As for a cloth...yes, use a microfiber cloth...GENTLY! You don't have to press hard with a cloth. And NEVER spray any cleaning fluids on the lens/filter directly! Spray the cloth, then the lens/filter.

Each in a its own foil wrap, very efficient and convenient.
A poster on another forum questioned the use of these wipes on a camera lens and the original poster pointed out that they were good enough her hospital's $300k Zeiss neurological microscopes.
