Cleaning Sunglasses?

I have never really thought about cleaning my sunglasses... but got an email today about tips on cleaning them... food for thought maybe?

  1. Use an eyeglass lens spray. Lenses collect dust and dirt throughout the day, and although your inclination may be to wipe them with a soft cloth or your shirt, this method tends to smear oil and dirt across the glass instead of removing it. In order to effectively clean glasses, and help eliminate oils from lenses, use a specialty spray made for eyeglasses.
  1. Use a mild liquid dish soap and warm water. Sound simple? It is! Wet the lenses and apply a small amount of mild dish soap to your fingers. Gently massage across the front and back of the lenses, then rinse well with warm water.
  1. Dry with a microfiber cloth. Don't reach for paper products, no matter how soft they are. Most are made with a percentage of recycled paper fibers, which can leave lint behind and scratch lenses over time. Instead, always use the microfiber cloth that came with your eyeglasses, or purchase one from your local store.
Tip: Keep your microfiber cloth in good condition by washing it once a week, but avoid fabric softener, as this will cause the cloth to lose its absorbency.
  1. Mind the nose pads. Once the nose pads start to discolor, they need to be changed. To prolong their life, wash them a few times a week. Just make it a practice when you are cleaning your lenses to rub the nose pads as well.
