How to Clean Your Glasses Properly

Smudged lenses aren't just annoying — over time, improper cleaning can scratch coatings and shorten the life of your glasses. Here's the right way to keep them clear.

What You Need

  • Lukewarm water
  • A drop of mild dish soap (no moisturizers)
  • A clean microfiber cloth

The Right Technique

  1. Rinse lenses under lukewarm water to remove dust and grit.
  2. Add a tiny drop of dish soap and gently rub both sides.
  3. Rinse thoroughly, then dry with a microfiber cloth.

What to Avoid

  • Paper towels and tissue: these scratch lenses over time.
  • Ammonia or window cleaner: strips anti-reflective coatings.
  • Your shirt: fabric holds dust that grinds into the lens.

Quality frames hold up better to daily cleaning. Titanium reading glasses resist corrosion, and rimless frames have fewer crevices for dirt to collect. For sunglasses, metal frame sunglasses are easy to keep clean and scratch-free.
