eyewear cleaning
Eyeshaker
How do I clean my spectacles and sunglasses properly?
To clean eyewear properly, please only use special cleaning devices and cloths made for eyewear. Ultrasonic cleaning machines are a very popular choice. Household products such as baking soda, shaving foam, glass cleaner or washing-up liquid should not be used to clean glasses as they can damage or even scratch the coating of the lenses or the frame. In order to maintain the lifespan and quality of the glasses in the long term, it is important to invest in the right cleaning agents.
can you use home remedies to clean glasses?
Oft wird warmes Wasser in Kombination mit Spülmittel empfohlen, da es Brillengläser effektiv von Schmutz, Fett und Fingerabdrücke befreien soll.
Handelsübliche Spülmittel enthalten meist starke, alkohol- und/oder säurehaltige Inhaltsstoffe. Dies macht sie für die Reinigung im Haushalt so effektiv, für Brillen jedoch sehr gefährlich. Bei regelmäsiger Verwendung kann es die empfindliche Oberfläche deiner Brille und die Beschichtung deiner Gläser nachhaltig beschädigen. Experten raten daher von Spülmitteln und selbstgemachten Reinigungsmitteln ab, um die Sicherheit und Langlebigkeit deiner Brille nicht zu gefährden.
Auch andere Hausmittel wie Essig, Zahnpasta, Natron, Backpulver, Zitrone, Rasierschaum und sogar Spiritus werden in Foren und Blogs zum Reinigen von Brillen empfohlen. Sie sind definitiv nicht zum Reinigen von Brillengläsern geeignet. Hausmittel können die empfindlichen Gläser, die Beschichtung der Gläser und den Rahmen der Brille beschädigen.
Auch Küchenrolle, Papiertaschentücher oder Geschirrtücher sollten nicht zum Polieren von Brillen verwendet werden, da sie rau sind und Kratzer verursachen können. Verwende bitte nur spezielle Brillenreinigungsmittel und Reinigungsgeräte für Brillen, um die Sicherheit und Langlebigkeit deiner Brille nicht zu gefährden.
Can I clean my glasses with detergent or dish soap?
Dishwashing detergents usually contain strong to aggressive, alcoholic and/or acidic ingredients, which makes them so effective for household use but dangerous for glasses. They can permanently damage the surfaces of your glasses, the nose pads and the coating of your lenses.
In order to assess whether detergent is mild enough for glasses and suitable for the coating of glasses, chemical expertise requires in-depth information about your own glasses. We therefore advise against this variant in order not to jeopardize the safety and longevity of your glasses.
Can I clean eyewear with rinsing aids or window cleaner?
NO, you shouldn't do that. Glass cleaners and rinse aids are not tailored to the individual properties of glasses and lenses and their coatings. They can contain aggressive, alcoholic and/or acidic ingredients. These can attack and permanently damage the surfaces of your glasses, the nose pads and the coating of your lenses.
Can I make eyeglass cleaner myself?
Ja, wenn du die nötigen Kenntnisse hast. Mische Wasser mit Reinigungsmittel und los gehts. Das Reinigungsmittel muss mild und frei von alkoholischen oder säurehaltigen Inhaltsstoffen sein, ansonsten kann es deine Brille, die Nasenpads und die Beschichtung deiner Brillengläser nachhaltig beschädigen.
Das Problem: Handelsübliche Spülmittel enthalten fast immer starke bis aggressive, alkoholische und/oder säurehaltige Inhaltsstoffe, was sie für den Gebrauch im Haushalt so effektiv, für Brillen aber gefährlich macht. Ohne Fachwissen kann man kaum feststellen, ob das Spülmittel säurehaltige oder andere für Brillen schädliche Inhaltsstoffen beinhaltet, daher raten wir davon ab, Brillenreiniger selbst zu machen.
Verlasse dich lieber auf Expertern und Reinigungsmittel, die von deinem:r Optiker:in empfohlen werden. Durch ihre besondere Zusammensetzung sind Brillenreiniger auf die empfindlichen Oberflächen von Brillengläsern und Rahmen abgestimmt und enthalten keine schädlichen Inhaltsstoffe, die Brillen beschädigen können.
How can I clean my eyewear on the go?
Um deine Brille unterwegs richtig zu reinigen, solltest du ausschließlich Brillen-Reiniger verwenden, die speziell für Brillen entwickelt wurden. Unterwegs bieten sich Cleaning Kits, Putztücher und Sprays an, die leicht und handlich sind.
Vermeide Kleidung, Papiertücher oder Taschentücher. Sie können abrasive Partikel oder Fasern enthalten, die Kratzer oder Schäden auf der Oberfläche der Brillengläser verursachen, zudem entfernen sie Schmutz und Fett nicht effektiv, sondern verschmieren den Schmutz eher auf deinen Brillengläsern.
Wie du einen Brillenspray oder ein Cleaning Kit richtig anwendest, erfährst du im nächsten Punkt.
How do I use a lens cleaning spray correctly?
Um deine Brille mit einem Brillenputzspray oder einem Cleaning Kit richtig zu reinigen, folge diesen Schritten:
- Sprühe das Brillenreinigungsspray auf beide Seiten der Brillengläser.
- Verwende ein speziell entwickeltes Brillenreinigungstuch, zum Beispiel THE GLOVE, um das Spray auf den Gläsern zu verteilen und sie zu reinigen. (warum du kein herkömmliches Mikrofasertuch verwenden solltest, erfährst du im nächsten Punkt)
- Reinige die Gläser sanft, indem du kreisförmige Bewegungen von innen nach außen machst.
Achte darauf, auch den Rahmen der Brille regelmäßig und gründlich zu reinigen. Verwende dafür ein spezielles Reinigungsgerät, um Schmutz und Staub von schwer erreichbaren Stellen schonend zu entfernen. Vermeide es, deine Brille mit normalem Haushaltsreiniger oder Spülmittel zu reinigen, da diese Produkte die empfindlichen Gläser beschädigen können.
Why is it important to use a special lens cleaning cloth?
Ein spezielles Brillenputztuch ist wichtig, um die Brillengläser effektiv und ohne Beschädigung zu reinigen. Brillen-Putztücher sind speziell dafür entwickelt, empfindliche Gläser schonend zu reinigen. Sie bestehen meist aus weichen Mikrofasern, die deine Gläser sanft und gründlich reinigen, ohne die empfindliche Oberfläche zu beschädigen. Sie sind in der Lage, Schmutz, Staub und Fett ohne Rückstände effektiv zu entfernen.
Andere Tücher wie Papiertücher, Taschentücher, Geschirrtücher oder Kleidungsstücke können abrasive Partikel bzw. Fasern enthalten. Diese rauen Bestandteile können Schäden wie z.B. Kratzer auf der Oberfläche deiner Brillengläser verursachen. Zudem entfernen sie Schmutz und Fett nicht rückstandsfrei und verschmieren mehr als zu reinigen.
Hochwertige Brillenputztücher erkennst du an ihrer besonderen Saugfähigkeit. Diese Eigenschaft hebt die Reinigungsleistung auf ein neues Level. Allein saugfähige Mikrofasern ermöglichen streifen- und schlierenfreies Polieren und erzielen so das bestmögliche Ergebnis. (mehr dazu im nächsten Punkt)
How do I clean my glasses without streaks and streaks?
Verwende ausschließlich, spezielle Reinigungsmittel für Brillen. Entscheidend für das perfekte Ergebnis ist das richtige Brillenputztuch. Hochwertige Putztücher sind anders als herkömmliche Microfasertücher besonders saugfähig, was in Hinsicht auf die Reinigungsleistung einen erheblichen Unterschied macht.
Saugfähige Mikrofasern nehmen die Flüssigkeit des Brillenreinigungssprays gemeinsam mit dem Schmutz auf, anstatt sie nur zu verschmieren und ermöglichen auf diese Weise streifen- und schlierenfreies Polieren.
Only use special cleaning agents for glasses. The right lens cleaning cloth is crucial for the perfect result. Unlike conventional microfiber cloths, high-quality cleaning cloths are particularly absorbent, which makes a significant difference in terms of cleaning performance. Absorbent microfibers absorb the liquid from the lens cleaning spray together with the dirt instead of just smearing it, enabling streak- and streak-free polishing.
How do I gently clean my glasses frame?
It is best to use a special cleaning device such as the EYESHAKER to clean your glasses holistically and gently remove dirt and dust from hard-to-reach places.
What is the best way to clean glasses with plastic lenses?
The coating of eyeglass lenses is often very delicate, so it is important to use detergents and cleaning cloths that have been specially developed for glasses. Pay special attention to a soft and absorbent lens cleaning cloth to protect the coating on your lenses.
Avoid cleaning your glasses in an ultrasonic device, this can damage and even destroy the surfaces and coating of your lenses.
Glasses cleaning with ultrasound, what do I have to consider?
Ultrasonic cleaners should not be used without expertise or extensive experience with appropriate materials as not all eyewear can be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Frequent use or application with unsuitable materials can damage lenses and surfaces, especially plastic lenses or sensitive coatings. Special care is required for glasses with colored lenses, laser engraving and sensitive materials.
My glasses are no longer clean, what can I do?
To properly clean glasses, use special cleaning equipment designed for glasses.
Make sure that the cleaning agent of your choice follows a holistic cleaning approach, i.e. not only effectively cleans the lenses of your glasses, but also the frame. We recommend the EYESHAKER for this.
Glasses cleaning with household products such as baking soda, shaving foam, glass cleaner or washing-up liquid should be avoided, as they can damage or even destroy the coating of the lenses or the frame.
Which glasses can I clean with the EYESHAKER?
With the Eyeshaker you can clean all optical glasses, sunglasses, sports glasses, safety glasses that fit easily and without pressure into the round opening.
Which glasses should I NOT clean with the EYESHAKER?
Brillen aus Holz und Papier sollen du NICHT mit dem Eyeshaker reinigen.
Is the cleaning liquid safe for my glasses?
YES - the special cleaning agent even extends the life of your beloved glasses. Sweat, dirt and other environmental influences don't stand a chance and are effectively rinsed off. Otherwise you can't clean your glasses so gently.
Can I clean rimless glasses with the EYESHAKER?
And! We have made provisions and developed The Protector for this. It protects children's and rimless glasses by fixing them in the shaker and ensuring that they can be shaken without problems or risk. Can be used up to a glasses size of 143 mm (when closed).
What advantage does the EYESHAKER offer compared to cleaning cloths?
Compared to the cleaning cloth, the eyeshaker cleans your entire glasses, i.e. lenses and frames. This will remove any residue that is prematurely aging your glasses. The frame color, hinges, bridge plates, etc. remain attractive and functional for longer and the lenses will of course thank you in any case.
How often should I clean my glasses with the EYESHAKER?
As often as you want or as often as possible. There is no such thing as an overdose of eyeshakers. We recommend cleaning your glasses daily as part of your morning or evening routine.
Can I wash THE GLOVE glasses cleaning cloth?
The glasses cleaning cloth THE GLOVE can be washed in the washing machine at 30° degrees – without fabric softener. Please let it dry naturally and do not put it in the tumble dryer.
Can shaking damage my glasses?
NO! The elastic insert adapts perfectly to your glasses and fixes them in the eyeshaker gently and securely at the same time. So you can shake without hesitation!
For children's and frameless glasses, we refer to our EYESHAKER Protector, which fixes smaller glasses in the shaker. These can be used up to a glasses size of 143 mm (when closed).
What temperature should the water in the EYEHAKER have?
Lukewarm water would be ideal. Under no circumstances should hot or ice-cold water be used.
How long can I clean with the included cleaning TABS?
With a cleaning tab you can shake for about 10 days. A pack contains 10 TABs. So you can shake for up to 100 days with one pack.

How do I properly clean my glasses?
In order to properly clean glasses, only special cleaning devices, agents and cloths that have been specially developed for glasses should be used. A popular choice is eyeglass cleaning sprays and wipes, or ultrasonic devices. Household products such as baking soda, shaving foam, glass cleaner or washing-up liquid should be avoided as they can damage or even scratch the coating of the lenses or the frame. It is a good idea to invest in special glasses cleaning tools or equipment to maintain the life and quality of the glasses in the long run.
What home remedies can I use to clean glasses?
Es kursieren einige Empfehlungen und Tipps zum Thema Brillen reinigen mit Hausmitteln. Oft wird warmes Wasser in Kombination mit Spülmittel empfohlen, da es Brillengläser effektiv von Schmutz, Fett und Fingerabdrücke befreien soll. Das Wasser sollte warm sein, aber nicht heiß und das Spülmittel soll mild und frei von alkoholischen oder säurehaltigen Inhaltsstoffen sein. Hier entstehen die Probleme, denn herkömmliche Spülmittel enthalten meist starke bis aggressive, alkoholische und/oder säurehaltige Inhaltsstoffe. Dies macht sie für den Gebrauch im Haushalt so effektiv, für jedoch Brillen gefährlich.
Woran erkennt man also, dass ein Spülmittel mild genug für Brillen und die Beschichtung von Gläsern ist und kann man ohne chemisches Fachwissen überhaupt feststellen, ob das Spülmittel säurehaltige oder andere für Brillen schädliche Inhaltsstoffe beinhaltet?
Kurz gesagt: NEIN. Wir raten daher von dieser Variante ab, um die Sicherheit und Langlebigkeit deiner Brille nicht zu gefährden. Spülmittel kann die Oberflächen deiner Brille, Nasenpads und die Beschichtung deiner Gläser nachhaltig beschädigen.

How can I clean my glasses on the go?
To properly clean your glasses on the go, you should only use glasses cleaners that have been specially developed for glasses. Cleaning kits, cleaning cloths and sprays that are light and handy are ideal when you are out and about.
Avoid clothing, paper towels, or handkerchiefs. They may contain abrasive particles or fibers that will scratch or damage the lens surface, and they are not effective at removing dirt and grease, but rather smearing the dirt onto your lenses.

Without specialist knowledge it is difficult to determine whether the detergent contains acidic ingredients or other ingredients that are harmful to glasses, so we advise against making your own glasses cleaner.
Rather rely on experts and cleaning agents recommended by your optician. Due to their special composition, eyeglass cleaners are tailored to the sensitive surfaces of eyeglass lenses and frames and do not contain any harmful ingredients that can damage glasses.
