[OM] What is best to clean lenses?

I have avoided cleaning my lenses for a very long time.  Very very long time 
actually as I have successfully managed to keep fingerprints and other 
greasy stuff away, so I have only needed to brush them occasionally to bring 
them back to their original shine - until today that is.

I recently aquired a 8mm Peleng and was playing with it today, and as luck 
would have it I accidently touched the front glass.  It is hard not to, it 
protrudes so far out in the front.  Anyway, I have some lens cleaning liquid 
since in the past.  It was used the last time around 1990 (not joking here), 
and when I sprayed it onto the lens cleaning tissue I sensed a very bad 
smell.  I did not realize that this stuff can go bad, but apparently it 
does.

So I need to buy a new cleaning kit.  I have no idea what is recommended, so 
it would be interesting to hear what you guys use.  This time I ended up 
using a wet towel.  It went well, but I have no idea if that is recommended 
at all, even though it is sold for cleaning glasses.
