...Purosol was developed for NASA and the space program, as an alternative to solvent-based cleaners that destroy lens coatings, are environmentally dangerous and contribute to health problems.... [Purosol c]ontains no ammonia, alcohol, glycerin or silicone. Completely solvent free.... Purosol Optical [is] an environmentally friendly enzyme-based formula; Purosol cleans at the molecular level, neutralizing the bonds that dust, dirt, oil and grime use to adhere to glass or plastic lens surfaces. This solution is designed specifically for high-end multi-coated lenses....
Heck, I just want to know what this paragraph means! I'm gonna have to stop gargling with my current lens cleaner, given all the health problems worldwide that lens cleaners have caused. Up there with malaria* and foot fungus, it seems. Purosol, eh? Sounds like it ought to help one regain lost, ah, virtue or make one's peace prior to boarding Charon's ferry.
And I feel pretty inadequate that, heretofore, I've cleaned only at the large-clump-of-crap level with my belt sander rather than at the molecular level. Doesn't matter--Purosol only works on high end lenses, not the recycled-Coke-bottle blown-glass junk I always mount on my camera. If only someone could come out with a subatomic-level cleaner, we'd all be in high cotton. All those dirty quarks and electrons flying away from now-pristine front elements and all.
Hell, my motto's always been "better living through petroleum distillates" and all along, it was those little proteinaceous sneaks, enzymes, doin' the heavy lifting.
