We have this small bottle of spray lens cleaner that came with each projector accessory kit. It says lens and port glass cleaner on the bottle. We have been using it to clean lenses but could we also be using to clean the windows into the theater? Or does this mean the port hole into the projector lamphouse only???

If you got plate glass for your port windows, you can use any cleaner.

But, if you got coated optical glass for the port windows, then you use that stuff as recommended.

The best thing I ever used on ports was alcohol and lint free rags. No streaks, nor fuzz just crystal clear ports.
