His name was not Hermes by the way. It was Jean-Louis Dumas. I use any cotton cloth around. Without my own sweat on the outside of it. To clean my eyeglasses I use toilet paper. I'm sure I've done the same with a camera lens. I huff on the lens first to fog it with breath moisture. Seldom in the field. Normally I can wait till I get home. Blue Charmin. You cant beat it.
