The canned air is normally not air (those dust off things) , its a liquid propellant . If the can is not held straight it blasts a liquid stream of propellant at the the opticor mirror and this leaves a deposit that is very difficult to clean off. If you have dry CO2 canned air its ok.
As to the advice , well to be blunt , I would rather follow the optic mnfgrs recommendations considering laser engraver manufacturer's purchase their optics from them
Your laser mnfgr will not give anything less than a minimal warrantee on lenses and mirrors (3 months?) and if you destroy one by following their tech's advice ....well then perhaps their techs advice ought to be questioned and not taken as gospel?

Lens cleaner from your local camera shop and lens tissue from the same place works great.
You can use cotton swabs on the lens but only use lens tissue on the mirrors. And as someone else said, put the lens tissue on the mirror, a drop of lens cleaner and draw it across. Do not rub the mirror with anything.
