Baader Lens cleaner

I was told by Testar this morning that they no longer stock Baader’s Lens Cleaner because it has been classified as a flammable and has become too expensive to import. So I’m looking to concoct an alternative. Testar suggested Shellite from Bintel.

A suggested alternate on http://arksky.org/asoclean.htm is


1) distilled water (supermarkets)
2) "pure" isopropyl alcohol (pharmacies, drug stores....may have to be ordered)
3) coffee filters
4) "regular" Windex, the blue kind (supermarket)
5) Kodak PhotoFlo solution (camera and photo houses only)
6) Synthetic Cotton Replacement Pads (some finer pharmacies, medical supply companies)
7) two "atomizers" or simple squirt bottles for dispensing liquids (Wal Mart or similar)
8) box of KLEENEX [only!] pure white, no additives tissue (supermarket)

Any other suggestions?
