What was the cleaner, exactly ? The point is that most cleaners sold for domestic uses contain variety of assorted gunks - traces of lanolin, parafin and many more are not uncommon.

Some exceptions I've found you can rely on are distilled water, the stuff sold by Astro shops to clean optics, or Windex glass cleaner. The various alcohols sold by chemists on the other hand contain traces of something oily. And acetone as sold for nail polish remover contains lanolin, while the "pure" acetone sold at Bunnings leaves a white waxy residue, also.

Sydney tap water doesn't do a bad job either.
