I suggest to go to the Welcome section of the
Forum and introduce yourself first. Members
will be more willing to help someone that they
know a little about.
Don't forget add your Global Location in your
Profile so that Members can help you better.

99% Isopropyl alcohol with medical grade cotton swabs if you want to do it properly. I find regular old Q-tip brand cottons swabs work just fine for cheaper optics though.

Use compressed dry nitrogen. Smooth-on sells it. I assume the modules are seal.

First contact is good, but pricey if you're only ever going to use it a couple of times.
You seem to have responded twice...

If the optics don't have anything stuck to them I would try a dry cotton swab first before using a fluid such as alcohol or lens cleaning solution. I use medical swabs on wooded sticks. They seem to work well.

One more thing. Maybe my lasers are out of aligment. When i turn them on ,while top cover of housing is opened, I see that most of beam just passes trough reflective mirrors.. I can post picture tomorrow so you can see if its right or not
Which reflective mirrors? I'm assuming this is RGB or RGY?
If so, there's going to be several mirrors. There will likely be 2-3(RGB) or 1-2(RGY) for combining the colours, so they should pass or reflect depending on the colour.
There will be an additional two on the scanners themselves, one for the X axis and one for Y.
A picture would be good!
A picture would help!

Yes, they are dichroic mirrors for combining lasers at different wavelengths. They should pass/reflect based on wavelength (colour).

There are also usually not 100% efficient.. when I take my projector covers off I will get light beams going through the dichro and across the room. Well at least on my China pjs.. havnt Had a reason to open my kvant yet

I don't see a problem with the lenses, but if you are planning on cleaning the dichros, I don't know if alcohol would be safe on those.
