What to do if dust gets into the beam splitter

For stubborn residues, xylene, acetone, or 70% ethanol in distilled water can be used, with xylene being the most effective but potentially damaging to optical components. It is crucial to avoid rubbing dry cloths on dry glass surfaces and to wear latex gloves to prevent contamination. Should I grease the splitter beam or leave it clean? I guess the grease will attract dust and sand, causing grinding paste and potentially more wear and tear. I am just not convinced this is a good idea. The recommended cleaning solution is "Sparkle" brand glass cleaner (purple variant), applied with Q-tips or. I put a non-polarizing beam splitter cube in between the two polarizer and the extinction ration becomes 1000:1. The polarizers themselves will only be 100k under ideal. I recently collaborated with Chris from filmismorefun and made a video about how to clean the beam splitter in your rangefinder camera as well as how to improve the rangefinder patch too. Warning: This type of technique can damage your equipment.
