Sunscreen, fingerprints, sea spray, sweat... Are your sunglasses constantly smudged during vacation?
As a seasoned optician with years of experience helping customers maintain pristine eyewear, I've seen it all. Here's my go-to method to deep-clean lenses and keep them spotless up to three times longer.
The secret? A single drop of dishwashing liquid. It's simple, effective, and protects your investment. Watch how:
Contents - Dishwashing liquid
- Microfiber cloth
1. Wash your hands thoroughly to avoid transferring dirt.
2. Rinse sunglasses under lukewarm water.
3. Apply one drop of dishwashing liquid to each lens.
4. Gently rub both sides of the lenses with wet fingers.
5. Clean the entire frame, focusing on the nose bridge and temples.
6. Rinse under lukewarm water to remove all residue.
7. Shake gently to remove excess water.
8. Dry lenses and frame with a clean microfiber cloth.
9. Store in a protective case to maintain cleanliness.
Spotless! This optician-tested method repels dirt and dust effectively, keeping your sunglasses cleaner longer. Quick, easy, and ideal for clear views of stunning scenery.
It works on all types: Ray-Ban, plastic, polarized, or otherwise. No dish soap? A microfiber cloth alone is your next best option.
- Avoid white vinegar; its acidity can damage UV-protective coatings.
- Skip t-shirts or dirty towels—grit causes scratches.
- Never spit on lenses or use soiled cloths.
