The tiny fibers in the fabric can scratch your lenses permanently.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid using saliva to wet your lenses. It\u2019s not hygienic and doesn&#8217;t clean glasses well.<\/li>\n<li>Never use household glass cleaners on your glasses. These products contain chemicals that can damage the lenses and ruin the coatings.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t use paper towels, tissues, or toilet paper to clean your lenses. The wood pulp in these materials can scratch your lenses or leave lint on them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you know what to avoid, here are the best ways to keep your glasses clean and in good condition.<\/p>\n<h2>Do:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>First, always take your glasses off using both hands. This protects the hinges and temples and prevents smudging the lenses with your fingers.<\/li>\n<li>We suggest washing your glasses every morning to keep them scratch-free and looking good daily.<\/li>\n<li>Before you clean your glasses, make sure your hands are clean and free of dirt or oils. Wash them with lotion-free soap and dry with a clean, lint-free towel.<\/li>\n<li>Rinse your glasses under a light stream of lukewarm tap water. This removes dust and helps prevent scratches while cleaning. Avoid using hot water, as it can damage lens coatings.<\/li>\n<li>Apply a small drop of neutral hand soap to each lens. Don\u2019t use dishwashing liquid, as it often contains harsh ingredients. Gently rub both sides of the lenses, and be sure to clean the nose pads and the tips of the temples (arms), where grease, hair products, and makeup tend to accumulate.<\/li>\n<li>Rinse the frame thoroughly. Dry the lenses and frame carefully with a clean, lint-free towel that hasn\u2019t been treated with fabric softener or dryer sheets, or use a microfiber cleaning cloth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cleaning glasses and sunglasses might seem easy, but there are right and wrong ways to do it.
