I used these for cleaning Fiber Optic connectors

When I washed widows professionally, for leaded/cut/stained/etc glass and chandeliers, we’d polish with surgical cloths. Had a source for used cleaned ones. Didn’t leave lint. But these surfaces were some form of smooth, be they pebbled or ~ flat. If the sand blasted surface is sharp, can’t think of anything that won’t shred.
In chemistry, for experiments, we rinsed our clean glass ware with acetone and let it air dry, as it did so rapidly, and apparently left nothing behind to react with what ever reagents we were using.
What about compressed air followed by an acetone or alcohol rinse?

Josh, what about a brush and vacuum for final clean since since bits and pieces of debris are what need removing rather than sticking gunk?

Josh: Try one (or some) of the “wet wipe” products. They seem to leave very little fuzz. Most are made of nonwoven polymers.

I would try quality artist’s brushes and 100% isopropyl alcohol then blowing it off with compressed air while still wetted with the alcohol. Artists don’t want their brushes shedding bristles and they are large enough that the compressed air would blow them away easily. Alcohol isn’t as good at removing oils as acetone, but it stays around longer. 100% isopropyl alcohol is available form electronics supply companies, it is used to clean circuit boards. You may want to have two sets of brushes and containers, one preliminary cleaning and the other very clean.

Don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it, but my wife and I have been using simple cotton dish towels to clean our glasses for almost fifty years. No lint.
