The Right Way to Clean Your Glasses
Cleaning your glasses seems straightforward, but many of us unknowingly use methods that can actually harm them. Let's explore the dos and don'ts to ensure your eyewear stays in top condition.
Don'ts:
-
Avoid Rough Materials: Never use paper tissues, towels, or random cloths to clean your glasses, especially the lenses. These materials can leave scratch marks, damaging the protective coatings.
-
Say No to Acetone: Products containing acetone (like nail polish remover) should never be used to clean eyewear. Acetone can harm both the lenses and frames if left on for too long.
-
Don't Use Saliva: Using saliva to clean your glasses is unhygienic. It transfers germs from your mouth to the lenses, which can then reach your eyes, causing potential harm.
Do's:
-
Use Lens Cleaning Wipes: The most effective way to clean your glasses is with lens cleaning wipes. These wipes are designed to safely clean lenses and frames without scratching or damaging them. They are convenient and come pre-moistened, eliminating the need for additional cleaning liquids.
-
Use the Provided Cloth: If you prefer not to use wipes, the soft fiber cloth provided with your glasses case is a good alternative. Make sure to use it regularly and keep it clean by washing it occasionally.
