What is the best way to clean eyeglasses?

 

Cleaning Your Eyeglasses Effectively

 
  • Rinse with Lukewarm Water: Run your eyeglasses under lukewarm water to remove dust and tiny particles. This prevents scratching when you clean them further.
  • Use a Small Drop of Mild Dish Soap: Place a drop of gentle dishwashing liquid on your fingertips and lightly rub it across the lenses and the frame. This helps lift oils and residues without using harsh chemicals.
  • Rinse Thoroughly: Hold your glasses under lukewarm water again to remove all traces of soap. Make sure no soap remains, as it can leave marks on the lenses.
  • Dry with a Microfiber Cloth: Gently shake off excess water and dry your glasses using a clean, soft microfiber cloth. This cloth is designed to remove water without scratching the surfaces.
 
  • Avoid Hot Water: Hot water can damage the lens coatings and is best avoided.
  • Do Not Use Abrasive Materials: Stay away from paper towels, tissues, or regular clothing, as they can scratch and damage your glasses.
  • Keep Your Microfiber Cloth Clean: Regular washing of the microfiber cloth with water and mild soap helps maintain its effectiveness and prevents it from transferring dirt back to your glasses.
  • Handle with Care: Always hold your eyeglasses by the frames to avoid touching the lenses unnecessarily, which can reduce smear marks.
 
  • Lukewarm Water: Water that is comfortably warm helps to loosen oils and debris without harming the lens coatings.
  • Mild Dish Soap: A gentle soap cleans effectively without the risk of residue buildup; it’s ideal for daily cleaning.
  • Microfiber Cloth: This cloth is specifically made for cleaning delicate surfaces, ensuring that your lenses remain clear and scratch-free.
