Hello Everyone,
I received a magic cloth for Christmas, and brought it to work with me, and I have been using it on my laser to clean the lense, and also the dust in the laser. It works great!
I have also used it to clean the marble and acrylic after engraving. The dust moves off very nicely. On the marble it has to be done a little lightly over the engraved area, but on the smooth part of the tile, it's great.
Try, you'll like it.
Barb
PS, I think you can buy them in market now. Otherwise, I am sure Wallyworld must have them.

Barbara, be very careful using your magic cloth to clean the optics on your laser. If the soft cloth has an additive that might be absorbed by the hydroscopic coating on your optics, you will have a problem. It is really hard to beat a high quality cotton ball, Q-tip, or lens paper with a lens cleaning solution, methanol, or grain alcohol, to clean your optics. Even oils from your fingers will ruin the coating on your optics.

I did wonder about that. Thank you for the imput, I will not do it again.
However it really works well on acrylic, the machine dust, marble etc.
Try it out.
Thank you again,
Barb
