How to clean glasses properly: Step by step, avoid mistakes, and stay clear for longer
Clean lenses ensure clear vision, protect coatings, and increase comfort. If you want to clean glasses properly, always treat the lenses and frames as a single unit. This guide shows you a quick daily routine and a thorough cleaning solution for at home.
Why regular cleaning is crucial
Dust, pollen, and skin oils build up daily. Without proper cleaning, micro-scratches develop, coatings wear out faster, and lenses lose their clarity. A consistent routine will protect your glasses and keep them in top condition for longer.
Quick cleaning in everyday life
- Rinse glasses under lukewarm water to remove particles.
- Spray AR-suitable cleaner on both sides of the lenses.
- Dry and polish with an absorbent microfiber cloth without pressure.
Compact sets or wipes are ideal for on-the-go use. Look for alcohol-free, coating-friendly formulas.
For a thorough cleaning, a quick, everyday routine is often insufficient. Dust and debris can settle in places that are difficult to reach with a cloth or spray. This is precisely where special cleaning systems come in, cleaning the entire frame, nose pads, and lenses in one go – without risking the coatings. One of these solutions is the Eyeshaker.
The Eyeshaker – effective complete cleansing
The Eyeshaker was developed by master opticians to clean glasses completely—lenses, frames, nose pads, and hard-to-reach areas. No electricity required, just water and a cleaning tab . The set includes the shaker and the two-layer microfiber cloth, THE GLOVE . The result: streak-free, hygienically clean glasses in under 30 seconds.
This is how deep cleaning works
- Fill the shaker halfway with water.
- Add a cleaning tab and let it dissolve briefly.
- Insert glasses, close lid, shake gently for 15 seconds.
- Remove glasses and rinse under clean water.
- Dry and polish with THE GLOVE.
One tab is sufficient for up to 10 days of use.
Do's and don'ts
- Do: Rinse with lukewarm water before wiping.
- Do: use special, AR-compatible cleaners.
- Don't: Glass cleaner, vinegar, toothpaste, baking soda or rubbing alcohol.
- Don't: Use kitchen roll or tissues.
- Don't: hot water or dry rubbing.
