How do you clean your glasses and the microfiber cloth used to clean your glasses?
-
Perfect for cleaning on the go
-
I put my microfiber cloths in one of those delicates laundry bags and toss it in with a regular load on cold, then let them air dry. Never had any problem with them scratching lenses.
-
Get crystal lenses and not worry about it. Only had one scratch on them, that was due to them hitting the ground
-
Mainly just alcohol/iso spray front and rear and papertowel sometimes heavily spraying to degrease. Crystal clear with a single paper towel. It's more about keeping them clean than repeating over and over.
-
IMO microfibers suck and 99.9% of the time a pain to ever use consistently. They trap dirt and oils. Even after washing their the most smudgey form of a wipe you can get due to the material.
-
The best way to clean glasses is with your fingers using warm water and dish soap. Don't use super hot water, it can damage the coatings on some lenses. Start with a rinse to remove any particles, then clean them between your fingers, then a final rinse, shake them off and let them air dry.
Using any type of cloth can cause scratches as you've found.
-
I just end up with water droplet "stains" on my lenses like that, obscruing my lenses until I physically wipe them with something.
-
Just be careful, some soaps can have abrasive elements. Not simply like, microbead stuff that companies try to use to make microplastics sound healthy, but many soaps with trace minerals or similar. Good for dead skin but can scuff up lenses over time.
-
I don't know what you mean by delicate laundry bags, is it any kind of container used to store delicates (and you toss the laundry bag into the washing machine?)
-
Samee!! That's my problem too
-
Exactly my experience🫂
-
Hmm... This! I suppose I can do this. Wash my hands properly, remove the microfiber cloth from its container and then only use it to remove the water drop let's.
-
That sounds harsh :')

Underrated comment, thank you very much!

You monster :')
I don't know, sounds harsh

As it happens the author of the post themselves commented on this one, but I do appreciate your help tho

Doesn't that strip any anti-glare or other coating your glasses may have? I've always been told dish soap without additives (aloe etc.) under warm water (not hot enough to soften your frames) is your best bet to remove dirt and oils.
-
You don't want it to be hot enough to soften your frames though.
-
I honestly haven't ever noticed a difference and I've worm glasses my entire life.
I get the best lenses with all the options as far as tinting and coatings and lense material and even front and rear shaping, polished lens edges which suck by the way super rainbow streak effect under heavy lighting. I cannot find any manufacturer that can provide a better set of lenses.
That being said so you know I'm serious about my care. I use ISO everyday or every other day. I keep my lenses crystal clear. Frames clean.
They show no signs of wear on the anti glare. I'd be more concerned with fitment on your face always keeping your eyes in the right pupil focal point more than worrying about lens coatings.Secondly I'd be most concerned with keeping your script updated at bare minimum every 2 years prefer yearly or 18 months. Your eyes change a lot more rapid than you think don't let the optical nerves get tired.
