How Do I Clean My Glasses?

Keeping your glasses clean will help prevent scratches to your lens and ensure the sharpest vision possible for your lenses.

  1. Wash and dry your hands carefully.
    It is important for your hands to be clean before washing your glasses, because the dirt and germs from your hands may transfer to the lenses. Don’t forget the soap!
  2. Rinse your glasses under lukewarm water.
    This step ensures the debris are removed from your glasses prior to scrubbing them. Avoid hot water, because acetate can deform under hot temperatures.
  3. Apply a small drop of lotion-free dishwashing liquid to each lens.
    You only need a tiny amount, because dishwashing soap is typically very concentrated.
  4. Gently rub both sides of the lens and all over the frames. Make sure you clean every part of the frame, including the nose pads and the temples. Also clean out the area where the lenses meet the frames, because dust can be trapped in those tiny crevices.
  5. Rinse both sides of the lenses and frames.
    Use lukewarm water to remove all traces of soap, especially the lenses. If the soap dries out on the lenses, smudges may appear.
  6. Carefully dry the lenses and frames with a lint-free towel.
    Make sure your towel is clean before drying your glasses. Inspect the frames after drying. If you find that you have missed a spot, repeats the previous steps again。
  7. For daily cleaning, a microfiber cloth like the one provided from Dualens is suggested.
