I use one and it works great. A few tips (which apply to lens cleaning in 
general)

NEVER clean a lens with ANY cloth until AFTER you dust it off! This will avoid
scratching the lens with grit that is already there, and avoid getting any on 
the
cloth.
I also always check the cloth first and store it in a clean ziploc bag.
You can also (and should) wash the cloth from time to time. The method I was
taught and use is to wash it in a bit of ammonia, and then rinse with distilled
water.
