Heard a client say they cleaned their lens with rubbing alcohol

They were trying to fix a smudge on their 50mm f/1.8. That stuff can wreck coatings. Anyone else have a go-to safe cleaner they recommend to customers?

My old Nikon manual actually recommended a 70% isopropyl solution for cleaning.

Totally get that. I still have my old F3 manual and it says the same thing. Makes you wonder why the advice changed so much over the years. Do you still use that method or have you switched to something else?
