HOW TO CLEAN YOUR GLASSES
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to clean your glasses properly:
1. **Wash Your Hands**
- Before you begin, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. This helps prevent transferring dirt or oils from your hands to your lenses.
2. **Rinse Your Glasses**
- Rinse your glasses under lukewarm water. This removes dust and debris that could scratch the lenses during cleaning. Avoid using hot water, as it can damage lens coatings.
3. **Apply a Small Amount of Lens Cleaner**
- Use a lens cleaning solution designed for eyeglasses. Apply a drop to each lens. If you don’t have lens cleaner, a drop of mild dish soap can be used as an alternative.
4. **Gently Clean the Lenses**
- Rub the lenses gently with your fingertips. Be sure to clean the entire surface, including the frames, nose pads, and ear pieces.
5. **Rinse Again**
- Rinse your glasses again under lukewarm water to remove any soap or cleaner residue.
6. **Dry with a Microfiber Cloth**
- Use a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth to dry your glasses. Avoid using tissues, paper towels, or clothing, as these can scratch the lenses.
7. **Inspect and Buff**
- Inspect your lenses for any remaining smudges. If needed, gently buff them with the microfiber cloth.
**Additional Tips:**
- Use a glasses case: When you’re not wearing your glasses, store them in a protective case to prevent scratches and damage.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Never use household cleaners, ammonia, or vinegar, as these can damage the lens coatings.
- Regular maintenance: Check and tighten any loose screws on the frames periodically.
Following these steps will help keep your glasses clean and in good condition, ensuring clear vision and prolonging the life of your eyewear.
