Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal But the real question is whether the Sparkle Flat Screen Cleaner has a similar chemical composition to the purple spray other than the color. Not all glass cleaners are equally recommended for objectives so just because this is a Sparkle product, one can't be sure it is equally safe. I am copying this message to Sparkle and will post their reply.

The Canadians who can't find Sparkle in their country need to find some American who will ship them inexpensive prescription drugs in exchange for Sparkle. just kidding...

This is what I got back from their customer service:
 
Our Sparkle Flat Screen Cleaner contains no purple dye as does our aerosol.
 
The Flat Screen Cleaner sells for $14.95 for 3-8 oz. bottles, or $55.95 for a case of 12.  The Aerosol sells for $16.95 for 3-20 oz. spray cans.  Shipping and handling per order is $6.95.  It ships out UPS Ground.

This should deposit less film, also the purple dye possibly is fluorescent.
