A few small habits keep your sunglasses and glasses clear and scratch-free for much longer. Here's what works, and what to skip.
How to clean your lenses
- Rinse first. Hold the glasses under lukewarm running water to wash away dust and grit. Wiping dry grit across a lens is one of the most common causes of scratches.
- Use a drop of mild dish soap. Pick one without lotion, and rub it gently over both sides of the lenses with your fingertips.
- Rinse and dry. Rinse off the soap, shake off the extra water, and dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
What to avoid
- Shirts, paper towels and tissues. Their fibers and any trapped dust can scratch lenses.
- Window cleaner and other strong cleaners. Ammonia and similar chemicals can damage lens coatings.
- Hot water. Lukewarm is enough.
How to store them
- Keep them in a case when you're not wearing them.
- Never set them down lens-side down.
- Don't leave them on a car dashboard. Strong heat can warp frames.
- Try not to push them up on your head. It stretches the arms over time.
Everyday handling
- Put them on and take them off with both hands, so the arms stay aligned.
- If a screw feels loose, tighten it gently with a small eyeglass screwdriver.
