A great pair of sunglasses does more than just complete an outfit; it also protects the eyes and improves your vision. But if your lenses are covered in smudges, dust, or streaks, they’re not doing their job. And worse yet, wrong cleaning methods can cause permanent damage and lead to scratches or worn-out lens coatings.
At Xunqi Glasses Manufacturing, we know how important it is to keep your sunglasses in top shape. That’s why we’re sharing the best way to clean your sunglasses while avoiding common mistakes.
Let’s get started!
The right way to clean your sunglasses
- Step 1: Rinse with lukewarm water
Before reaching for any cleaning products, it’s important to rinse your sunglasses with lukewarm water.
This will remove any loose dust or debris that may cause scratches on the lenses when wiped. Avoid using hot water as it can damage the lens coatings.
- Step 2: Use a mild soap or lens cleaner
After rinsing, use a mild soap or specifically designed lens cleaner to clean your sunglasses.
Avoid using harsh chemicals, such as ammonia, bleach, or vinegar, as they can strip the lens coatings and damage the frames.
- Step 3: Wipe with a microfiber cloth
Once you’ve applied the cleaning solution, gently wipe your sunglasses with a microfiber cloth. This type of cloth is specially designed to clean delicate surfaces without causing any scratches.
Avoid using paper towels or clothing as they can leave behind lint and cause scratches on the lenses.
- Step 4: Clean the frames
Don’t forget to clean the frames of your sunglasses as well. Dirt and oils can build up on nose pads and temples, causing discomfort and even breakage.
Use a small amount of soap or cleaner on a soft cloth to wipe down the frames.
Common mistakes to avoid when cleaning your sunglasses
- Using paper towels or clothing
As mentioned earlier, using paper towels or clothing to clean your sunglasses can cause damage to the lenses.
Instead, invest in a microfiber cloth that is specifically designed for cleaning delicate surfaces.
- Cleaning glasses with household glass cleaners
Household glass cleaners may seem like a convenient choice for cleaning your sunglasses, but they often contain harsh chemicals such as ammonia that can strip the lens coatings and damage the frames.
Stick to using mild soap or lens cleaner for the best results.
- Forgetting to store sunglasses properly after cleaning
After spending time cleaning your sunglasses, it’s important to store them properly to avoid any further dirt or damage.
Always store your sunglasses in a protective case when not in use. This will not only prevent scratches but also protect them from accidental drops or damage.
Some tips to keep your sunglasses clean for longer
- Store them in a protective case when not in use
Storing your sunglasses in a protective case is essential for maintaining their cleanliness and longevity.
Make it a habit to always keep your sunglasses in their case when you’re not wearing them, whether it’s in your bag, car, or at home.
- Avoid touching lenses with your fingers
It may be tempting to wipe away smudges on your sunglasses with your fingers, but this can actually do more harm than good. The natural oils from your fingers can leave behind residue and potentially damage the lens coatings.
Stick to using a microfiber cloth for a safe and effective clean.
- Use a lens cleaning spray and microfiber cloth regularly
To keep your sunglasses in top shape, it’s important to regularly clean them with a lens cleaning spray and a microfiber cloth.
This will help remove any stubborn dirt or oils that have built up on the lenses and keep them looking like new.
