Your glasses deserve care that’s as clear as your vision. This guide walks you through the best tools and techniques to keep your lenses spotless and scratch-free—so your frames stay fresh and functional for the long haul
How to Clean Your Glasses Without Scratching Them
Use the right tools and techniques to keep your lenses and frames spotless, scratch-free, and long-lasting.
1. Wash with Warm Soapy Water
Start by washing your hands. Then, use a mild dishwashing detergent and lukewarm water to gently scrub the lenses, frames, and nose pads. Avoid hot water—it can damage coatings and materials.
2. Use a Lens Cleaner
If you're using a spray lens cleaner, apply a small amount directly to the lens. Wipe with a clean, soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lightly dampened cloth.
3. Dab—Don’t Rub
Never rub dry lenses. Instead, gently dab the cloth onto the lens surface. Rubbing hard, especially when dry, is a common cause of scratches.
4. Choose the Right Cloth
Always use a clean, soft cloth. Microfiber is ideal, but a clean cotton face towel or handkerchief can work in a pinch. Make sure the cloth is free of oils and debris.
Cleaning the Frames
Use warm water to clean your frames. Residual oils and dirt can transfer to lenses, causing blurriness. For frames with inlaid gems or delicate details, visit an optical shop for professional cleaning.
