The Do's and Don’ts of Cleaning Eyeglasses
A Practical Guide to Cleaning Eyeglasses Correctly
Eyeglasses not only help us see clearly, they also add style and protect the eyes from UV and blue light. However, incorrect cleaning methods, such as using paper towels or clothing to wipe away dirt, can lead to scratched lenses. Here are professional and safe ways to clean your eyeglasses, as well as common mistakes to avoid.
Cleaning Steps
- Wash your hands
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water, then dry them. This will prevent grease or dirt from transferring to the lenses.
- Blow off dust
Blow gently on the lenses or use a hair dryer to remove loose dust and debris. This step prevents scratches on the lenses during the wiping process.
- Choose the right cleaning product
Avoid glass cleaners as their strong chemicals can damage plastic lenses over time. Use cleaning products designed for plastic lenses, such as eyeglass wipes. If you need eyeglass wipes, consider using lens anti-fog wipes. Try our Eyeglass Cleaning Wipes, linked below, to effectively clean your lenses and prevent fogging at the same time.
