EGF Tips: Keep your Glasses Clean

If you've ever worn glasses, you've probably experienced just how annoying and inconvenient dirty lenses can be. What's worse is when you go to clean that one spot off of your lens  and you accidentally scratch it! Yup, we've all been there. Read below for what we think the best tips and tricks are for keeping your glasses looking clean and new.


1. Use a Microfiber Cloth

• Microfiber clothes are made from ultra soft fibers. Unlike using other fabrics or  disposable textiles like tissues, using a microfiber cloth will not leave any scratches or residues behind on your lens. Can be used wet or dry. 

2. White Vinegar

• Splash a few drops of white vinegar onto your lenses to dissolve any oils left from your fingers or to loosen any dirt particles. Gently run under tap water and let dry. Using white vinegar, unlike other cleaners like Windex, will not leave behind harmful chemicals that might otherwise damage your lens.

3. Toothbrush Method

• Use a new toothbrush to wipe off excess oils and makeup off of the bridge and avoid buildup. Dip it in glasses cleaner if your glasses are extra dirty. 

4. Get a Case

• Maybe this one seems a bit obvious. Investing in a good home for your glasses will prevent them from being scratched, bent, or sat on. We recommend get a boxy one made out of a hard plastic. Wrap your glasses in a microfiber cloth before you put them in for further protection!
