With Windex there is no heavy rubbing, it disolves the fungus

How about isopropyl alcohol?
I recently found what looks like small spots of fungus on the rear
elements of a couple of my lenses. Gave them a good scrub with an
alcohol-soaked tissue, wiped the residue off with a dry tissue, blew
out the dust then left them in the sun to catch some UV rays.
Hopefully that's all they'll need.
I have another couple of lenses with internal fungus... just a small
spot near the centre of whichever element it's on. I'll probably
disassemble one but the other's an FA and I'm not sure I want to deal
with little pieces of lens springing off into the carpet.
Today I shifted my lens shelf out of the wardrobe where it used to
reside. I had it in there as the door is lockable for security. I
suspect there may have been some moisture rising from under the
floor, and it doesn't help that we had some unusually humid weather
recently.
I've been wanting to do some work under the floor (moisture proofing
and insulation) so I guess I'll be doing that a bit sooner than I
originally intended.
