Crystal Clear Vision: A Guide to Properly Clean and Maintain Your Glasses
GATHER YOUR CLEANING ARSENAL
The Tools You’ll Need
Before embarking on the cleaning process, gather the necessary tools to ensure a thorough and gentle cleaning experience. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Microfiber Cloth: Opt for a high-quality microfiber cloth specifically designed for eyewear cleaning. It effectively removes smudges and debris without scratching your lenses.
- Lens Cleaner Solution: Invest in a gentle, non-abrasive lens cleaner solution. Avoid using household cleaners or alcohol-based products, as they can damage lens coatings.
- Soft-bristled Brush: A small, soft-bristled brush or an unused toothbrush can be handy for removing stubborn dirt or dust particles.
STEP-BY-STEP CLEANING PROCESS
The Art of Sparkling Lenses
Follow these simple steps to ensure a thorough cleaning process for your glasses:
- Rinse: Begin by rinsing your glasses under lukewarm water to remove any loose particles.
- Apply Solution: Place a small drop of the lens cleaner solution on each lens. Avoid using excessive amounts, as it may leave streaks.
- Clean Lenses: Gently rub both sides of the lenses in a circular motion with the microfiber cloth or your fingertips. Pay special attention to the areas around the nose pads and temples.
- Clean Frames: Wipe the frames with the microfiber cloth, removing any dirt or oil residue.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse the lenses and frames once again under lukewarm water to ensure all traces of the solution are removed. Pat them dry with a clean, lint-free cloth or let them air dry.
