How do you clean your sunglasses?

Sunglasses need proper maintenance and cleaning so that the lenses don't get scratched. This also ensures complete protection from glare.

To remove a light stain or dust deposits, perform a quick cleaning. Use a 100% polyester microfiber cloth to prevent scratching. To clean, place the cloth on the outer part and fill it on the inner part of the glass. Then, make small and delicate circular movements. Turn the glasses to a light source to see if the glasses are completely clean and we repeat the operation if not.

For persistent stains, use special cleaning products. After a long walk in the mountains, for example, dirt may be deposited on the glasses. In order to remove them, place the glasses under cold, clear water. Then spray the pair with a cleaning spray or a pH-neutral soap. Rinse and wipe with a microfiber cloth.

In case your lenses are completely dirty and need a deep cleaning, you will have to go to an optician. Indeed, there is a special device that allows you to clean glasses with ultrasound. It allows you to clean both the lenses and the frames in the smallest nooks and crannies for a like-new look. There is virtually no risk of scratching.

Gestures to avoid when cleaning your sunglasses

• Avoid dry cleaning: If there is a splash on your glasses, you should not dry clean them. You can use clean water so that there are no scratches. Besides, you should make it a habit to pass the sunglasses through a bowl filled with clean water before each wiping to avoid scratches.
• Hot water is to be banned: No matter what the reason is, do not clean your sunglasses with hot water. Sunglasses should even be kept away from a heat source because the thermal shock alters the lenses.
• T-shirt, paper towel, tissue will be banneds: people tend to clean their sunglasses with soft clothes when they don't have a microfiber cloth at hand. This is a bad habit that can lead to minor scratches. Paper towels and tissues should also be avoided.
