Do you think a cotton hankie is better than the "proper" lens cleaning cloths?


Honestly, yes.

What cleaning fluid is best to use?


Haven't noticed any difference but do not try tape head cleaner, which contains a glycerol-based detergent which will cause smearing.

Some of the fluid I've used has left quite bad smearing behind.


Presumably because the lens was greasy to start with. This is why I suggest cotton, if scrupulously clean it will absorb grease quite well. And the lens pen will finish it.
