For both the top and bottom glass, I find a gentle clean in a tiny amount of fairy liquid and plenty of water. .
The glass comes out really sleek and it's especially helpful if I'm having issues with dust.

I have an earth strap in the darkroom the ones computer builders us if there is a build up of dust on the glass I touch it to the glass and the dust is gone. This is after any marks have wiped off.

Thanks Pete. I do have one sheet of anti-Newton in my Durst 645 neg carrier and I simply wipe it with an Ilford anti-static cloth but I might try a clean with some Fairy liquid and water occasionally

I wondered too Mike.

But maybe it's 'Anti-Reflective' glass = AR and aka 'Anti-Newton' glass; although I don't know what the glass has against Newton, I'm sure...
