Proper way to take care of your glasses
Five Steps to Clean Your Glasses
1. Wash your hands and dry them
- The first step for clean glasses is to clean your hands. This is because oil or dust from your skin can come off the frames during the cleaning process. Wash your hands with soap (lotion or other additives can cause stains). And clean your hands with a clean towel.
2. Rinse the glasses in tap water with lukewarm water
- Warm water is best for removing dust and foreign substances, but be careful not to get too hot. Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the special coating on the lens.
3. Clean with a neutral detergent
- All you need is one drop per lens. Rub your fingers against the detergent on either side of the lens, then rub it all over the frame. Intensive cleaning is done on areas that are in most contact with the skin, such as nose pads and temples.
4. Rinse the glasses again
- To remove detergent from your glasses frame, wash your glasses with running water.
5. Wipe your glasses with a clean microfiber cloth or a lint-free towel
- Gently dry the glasses and check for stains or residual foreign substances in the light.
The Best Way to Clean Your Glasses
- If a fine gap in the frame (where the frame meets the lens or around the hinge), clean the area with a swab prior to the first rinse
- If your glasses have nose pads, it is important to keep them clean. Because nose pads come into direct contact with the skin, there are many cases where more germs are accumulated than other parts of the frame. If you want to make it cleaner, use disposable wet wipes that have alcohol on them. However, in this case, use only the nose pads and not the rest of the frame.
- Wash your glasses cleaner often. It is easy to accumulate fine dust. If you don't always keep it clean, you will end up losing your role as a glasses cleaner.
- Do not clean the glasses with high pressure while they are dry. If the glasses are washed with high pressure while dry, the frame is often scratched or damaged by foreign substances.
- Keep your glasses clean at all times and simply wash them frequently.
