Lenspen is a very good way to go, particularly if your lens is older or might have soft coating. If you are very confident that your lens has no hard particles on it and that the coating is modern and hard, a regular pencil eraser works well. This seems to be the stadard trick/method that the Leica service people in Solms use when people bring their lenses there.
