I was listening to the Digital Photography Tips from the Top Floor podcast #121 (found at http://www.tipsfromthetopfloor.com/2006/05/11/tfttf121-secrets-of-my-camera-bag/ ) and host / photographer Chris Marquardt said he uses cigarette paper as a low-cost alternative for cleaning dust off his lens because it is soft and lint-free. However, on Lifehacker, I read a user response (found at http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/how-to-clean-an-lcd-monitor-179659.php ) about cleaning LCD screens. He said: "I suggest you do NOT use a paper towel or even soft toilet paper. Paper products contain micro particles of wood and will cause tiny scratches that you may not see, but will be harmful." Would cigarette paper have that same problem? What are some low-cost alternatives if it's not safe to use?
