Hold the blower a few centimetres away so that you don't hit the lens with it, and give it a good squeeze. The air should gush out nice and fast!

Avoid these three common mistakes, or you may end up with dirtier (or worse, damaged) lenses.A Microfibre cloth is a one-off expense as it can be reused, but over time can become less effective with wear and tear. The cloth itself will need cleaning now and again, and make sure to give it a shake every time before you use it. This will help remove any potential dust and dirt.
