Watching the new Nick Page YT video about buying good and bad photography products, he mentioned KimTech wipes. The link in the video had them at a few dollars. I had a quick look on UK websites but couldn't find them.

Just wondering if anyone has seen them in the UK? They seem to be made by Kimberley-Clark.

I've used them at work. They are high quality general purpose wipes rather than lens tissues, marketed to labs rather than consumers. It never occurred to me to use them on lenses. They are low lint rather than lint-free, and might be a little too abrasive for this task.
 
For what it's worth I tend to use the Zeiss wipes, which are designed for lenses and come pre-moistened (ethanol/isoprop/preservatives/water) and individually wrapped:

They aren't that much more than the Kimwipes if you buy a pack of 200. Note that there's also an alcohol-free version, which I haven't tried.
I have a pack of the Zeiss 200x box, it lasts ages......I keep a few in each case/bag.

Yep same here with Zeiss wipes, get them most years on prime day or what ever it’s called, highly rate them but I’ve noticed the rest of the family do as well for phone screens :mad:
 
I use the Zeiss ones, bought from Costco a while ago now, they were around £8 if memory serves.
