Household solutions for cleaning glasses

If you are looking for ways to clean your glasses using everyday products, here are some suggestions you could try:

• A mixture of warm water and mild washing-up liquid. While this can work, it is important to be careful, as some lenses or coatings can be sensitive to certain cleaning agents.
• Use a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth to gently clean your glasses. Avoid rougher materials that could cause scratches.
• Rinse lenses gently with lukewarm water before wiping, to remove dust and small particles that could scratch the surface.

While these household solutions can work, it is important to note that they do not always deliver the most optimal results and can sometimes cause damage. For the best results and to extend the life of your glasses, HG recommends using specially designed glasses cleaning products wherever possible.

Causes of improper glasses cleaning

Using incorrect cleaning products for your glasses can have various causes:

• Lack of knowledge about the correct cleaning methods and products for lenses and frames.
• Convenience or rushing, leading you to grab whatever products are available, such as soap or washing-up liquid, without considering the consequences.
• Following incorrect advice or misleading information about glasses cleaning.
• Not reading or following the instructions from your glasses manufacturer or optician.

To prevent improper glasses cleaning in future, we recommend the following: Educate yourself about the recommended cleaning methods and products for your specific type of lenses and frame. Always use a dedicated glasses cleaner, such as a spray, and a microfibre cloth to prevent scratches. Avoid using household cleaning products, such as glass cleaner, as these can damage your lens coating. Follow your optician's or glasses manufacturer's instructions carefully for the best results and to prevent damage to your glasses.
