What's the best way to clean your lenses
There's nothing worse than a distracting smudge printed down the middle of your glasses lens. Or when your glasses feel dirty, rubbing them with your shirt may temporarily remove the smudge, but in the long run it actually leaves a more distracting damage that can't be wiped away.
Whether you are a beginner who has just started wearing glasses or you have worn glasses your whole life, you still find yourself wondering about the secrets to keeping your glasses clean and flawless without any smudges, streaks or scratches!
1. Start by rinsing your glasses with warm water. Do not use hot water as it can shorten the life of certain coated lenses.
2. Pick a simple kitchen dish soap. Put a small drop of dish soap on your fingertips. Gently rub both sides of the lenses and nose pads. If you are looking for the best way to clean your glasses at home, then dish soap is the way to go. Even the American Optometric Association recommends it.
6. Use jewelry polish safely on your frames often to refresh the look.
Performing this step only once in a blue moon will keep you looking nice, clean, and pristine glasses. If you polish plastic glasses too often, they will eventually damage them. If the glasses have a special finish, don't polish them too often because it will damage their special finish.
7. Keep them cleaner longer: Don't leave your frames over the sink or on your dresser.
Leaving your glasses over the sink or on your dresser, hairspray and perfume or powder can fly in the air, making residue build up quickly. Avoiding this will keep your frames cleaner longer.
Dish soap is one of the best and safest ways to clean glasses. Dish soap works well on metal and acetate plastic frames, but not on wood frames.
