I have a fuzzy haze surrounding the dot of a focusable laser even when its fully columnated
 





Best suggestion? Clean lens with a Q-tip and compressed air to see if it improves. If you can't remove the lens you can only clean one side of it and that'll be the best you can do. Most lasers have some, 'splash'. To what degree is a matter of quality and clean, unscratched optics.

Crud comes in many colours.

Or was that just a statement? No question mark makes it hard to understand.

Well, you don't have many other options. If you can't notice any difference with just a Q-tip it is unlikely solvents or cleaning fluids will improve further. If you have eyeglass cleaner to hand you can try that on a Q-tip also but like I said, most lasers have some, 'splash', and you will just have to get used to it or buy a better quality laser.

You can edit your posts rather than double posting.

Use 91% isopropanol on a q-tip, moving in small circles. Then use another q-tip to dry by dabbing. It works for me but you may have to repeat multiple times, using new q-tips each time.
 
^ True enough, but I get the feeling isopropanol wasn't going to be something to hand for this member. A dry Q-tip normally, (but not always), changes the fuzziness to at least prompt going out to buy a more specialised product. It seems on this occasion a dry Q-tip did nothing at all. We'll wait and see on this one... ;)

Edit; did you try cleaning the BACK of the lens?
