FAQs

What is VisibleDust Smear Away for?

VisibleDust Smear Away is a specialized cleaning liquid designed to remove stubborn oil and grit stains from camera image sensors.

What swabs should I use with Smear Away?

It is recommended to use VisibleDust DXM-100 (green) Sensor Swabs for optimal performance and sensor safety.

How much solution should I use per swab?

Apply one or two drops of the solution to the edge of the sensor swab.

Can I use this on my camera lens?

No, VisibleDust Smear Away is specifically formulated for camera image sensors and should not be used on lenses or other equipment.

Will this leave an anti-static coating?

Yes, Smear Away provides an anti-static barrier that helps reduce further dust contamination on the sensor.

How many swabs can I get from one bottle?

The bottle contains enough solution for approximately 72 swabs.

What is the shelf life of the solution?

Keep the bottle tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry place. With proper storage, the solution should remain effective for an extended period. Refer to product packaging for specific expiry dates if available.

Troubleshooting

Smear or streaks remain after cleaning

Ensure you are using the correct amount of solution (1-2 drops on the swab edge). Use a fresh swab for each pass and swipe from the center outwards in one direction. Avoid excessive pressure. You may need a second application with a new swab.

Solution appears to be drying too quickly

This can happen in dry environments. Ensure the cap is sealed when not in use. Try cleaning in a slightly less arid environment if possible.

Dust spots still visible

Check if the dust is on the rear element of the lens or on the cover glass of the sensor, not the sensor itself. If it is sensor dust, repeat the cleaning process with a new swab and fresh solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product is a liquid cleaning solution. Ensure you have the recommended VisibleDust DXM-100 (green) Sensor Swabs. Apply one or two drops of Smear Away solution to the *edge* of the swab, not the center.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for cleaning digital camera image sensors. It is *not* intended for cleaning lenses, filters, camera bodies, or other equipment.
