How to clean your eyeglasses: 5 tips for you 

 

 

Taking care of your eyeglasses is essential in order to avoid scratched lenses and dirty glasses. Cleaning eyeglasses on a daily basis is very important but many people don’t do it or do it wrong. Are you wondering why your glasses are often dirty or why you have to clean them many times a day? Here it is the guide for you!

Find out how to properly clean your eyeglasses with these five easy tips:

 

  1. Clean your hands first. Before cleaning your eyeglasses or sunglasses, remember to wash your hands with soap and water in order to remove any oil from your fingers that could spot the lenses.

 

  1. Warm water and detergent. Once you have washed your hands, it’s time for you to clean your eyeglasses: the gentlest way to do it it’s to use warm water and a sensitive detergent. (Alternatively you can use a lens cleaner, that can be very useful especially when you are not at home). Put a small amount of detergent on the lenses and rub it very gently over the surface. Meanwhile, wash the lenses with warm water.

 

  1. Use a microfiber cloth. Once you have completely washed your lenses, dry them with a microfiber cloth. When you buy a new pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses you will find a cloth inside the case and it is very important that you use it. 

 

  1. Things that you should avoid: please note that some detergents contain strong chemical and they can damage your glasses, that’s why it is so important to use a sensitive soap. When it comes to clean your lenses, avoid using your clothing because they could leave dirt on your lenses or, even worse, they could cause small scratches. 

 

 

  1.   Don’t forget to clean the temples. It is important also to clean the temples and in order to do so, we suggest you to use some soap, warm water and a soft toothbrush.

 

Now that we have seen how to clean your eyeglasses and sunglasses, let’s find out other ways to prevent scratched lenses. First of all, remember to always use the glasses case. That means that if you want to avoid scratched lenses you should avoid losing your glasses or forget them in places where they could get damaged. For the same reason, try not to put your eyeglasses on the top of your head and, whenever you take them off and you place them on a surface, never set your glasses lens-down. In addition, when you take off your eyeglasses, you should always hold them by the temples and never touch the lenses with your fingers. 

These little precautions can really help you to take care of your eyeglasses and sunglasses, especially if you use them every day.
