The pair I have actually came with two sets. One set is clear glass, the other dark green tinted plastic.

well in that case, the cleaner fluid should work fine on the glass, however, im not certain about the Tinted Plastic. if it has any bleaching properties (which some do) then it could de-colour or damage the plastic...

id use soapy water for the plastic tbh, simple and risk free

Well, I got a solution meant for cleaing both glass and plastic and it says it's safe for coated lenses.

A neutral PH solution and a soft cloth should be good for any surface. The danger to plastic is if you have something abrasive, because it scratches easier than glass. Baby shampoo is my all-purpose fall back, because there are no sulfates or ammoniums, and its biodegradable and doesn't leave a scum or anything yucky. razz

Anything rated "safe for all lenses" should be exactly what it says. Unless you have uber-delicate materials, I wouldn't worry about it. ^_^

Well these goggles are rated for acetylene welding, so I don't think there's anything to worry about now.
