FAQ, eyewear cleaning & EYESHAKER

Dirt builds up on glasses every day from grease, dust, sweat and residue. Here you will find clear answers on how to properly clean glasses, displays and EYESHAKER products.

Cleaning your glasses properly

The basis for clear vision, less residue and gentle care of lenses, frames and nose pads.

How do I clean my glasses properly?

Clean your glasses with cleaning products specially developed for lenses and frames. They dissolve grease, sweat and dirt without putting unnecessary strain on sensitive surfaces.

A system like EYESHAKER The Set cleans lenses, frames and hard-to-reach areas in one go. Avoid household cleaners, as they are not designed for glasses.

Why don't my glasses get clean even after wiping them?

Often the dirt is only spread around instead of removed. Common causes are films of grease, unsuitable cloths and residue on frames, nose pads or edges.

A complete cleaning first dissolves the dirt and then rinses it away. That is exactly what EYESHAKER The Set was developed for.

How do I avoid streaks on my glasses?

Streaks occur when liquid and dirt are not fully absorbed. First clean with a suitable solution, then dry with a clean absorbent cloth and polish as the final step.

For a streak-free finish, The Glove is a good choice.

How often should I clean my glasses?

Ideally on a regular basis, and for many users daily. Anyone who wears glasses in everyday life, at the office, doing sport or outdoors quickly collects grease, dust, sweat and residue on lenses and frames.

Regular cleaning improves vision and wearing comfort and helps to keep lenses, frames, nose pads and coatings in good condition for longer.

What you should avoid

Much of the damage does not come from wearing the glasses, but from unsuitable cleaning methods.

Can I clean my glasses with washing-up liquid?

Washing-up liquid can work if it is very mild. However, many products contain substances whose composition is not ideal for lens coatings.

If you want to be on the safe side, use cleaning products developed specifically for glasses, for example EYESHAKER The Set or The Cleaner Refill.

Are home remedies suitable for glasses?

Home remedies such as vinegar, toothpaste, baking soda, alcohol or glass cleaner are not a good choice for glasses. They can attack coatings, leave residue or encourage micro-scratches.

For safe cleaning, products made for glasses are the better solution.

May I clean my glasses with clothing or paper towel?

No. Clothing, paper towel, tissues or tea towels contain fibres and particles that cause scratches or tend to smear the dirt.

Use a suitable lens cloth such as The Glove instead.

Can I clean glasses with ultrasound?

Ultrasound is not ideal for every pair of glasses. Sensitive coatings, plastic lenses, tinted lenses or special materials can react sensitively depending on the model and condition.

If you are looking for a gentle everyday solution, a non-electric cleaning system such as EYESHAKER The Set is the more straightforward choice.

Use & compatibility

How to use the EYESHAKER correctly and which glasses are suitable for it.

How does the EYESHAKER work?

Fill it with approx. 200 ml of lukewarm water and add a Cleaning Tab. Then insert the glasses and shake for about 15 seconds.

Then rinse with clear water and dry and polish with The Glove.

How often should I use the EYESHAKER?

You can use the EYESHAKER regularly, including daily. Many users integrate the cleaning into their morning or evening routine.

Regular cleaning removes deposits early and helps to keep lenses, frames and coatings in good condition for longer.

Which glasses are suitable for the EYESHAKER?

The EYESHAKER is suitable for almost all glasses that fit into the opening easily and without pressure. These include prescription glasses, sunglasses, sports glasses and reading glasses.

Glasses made of wood, horn or paper are not suitable. For lightweight or rimless models, The Protector is a good choice.

Can I clean rimless glasses with the EYESHAKER?

Yes. The Protector was developed for rimless and smaller glasses. It holds the glasses additionally in place inside the system and provides more stability during cleaning.

Can shaking damage my glasses?

The EYESHAKER was developed for the gentle cleaning of glasses. The elastic insert holds the glasses securely inside the system. For particularly lightweight, small or rimless models, The Protector is additionally recommended.

How can I clean the EYESHAKER?

You can clean the body in the dishwasher. The lid should be rinsed separately and gently with water.

Do not put the lid in the dishwasher, so that the material and the mechanism are protected in the long term.

Products & accessories

Here you will find the key differences between EYESHAKER, spray, tabs, cloth and refill.

What is the difference between spray and EYESHAKER?

A spray primarily cleans the surface. That is handy when you are out and about or for quick cleaning in between.

EYESHAKER The Set cleans lenses, frames, nose pads and gaps in one go. For on the go, The Cleaner Pocket is a good choice. For classic spray use at home or as a refill, The Cleaner Refill is a good choice.

How long do the Cleaning Tabs last?

One Cleaning Tab lasts up to 10 days. A pack of 10 tabs is therefore enough for up to 100 days of use.

You can find more about this here: The Cleaning Tabs.

What do the EYESHAKER Cleaning Tabs contain?

The Cleaning Tabs contain a formula developed specifically for glasses. Composition in accordance with EU Regulation 648/2004: less than 5 percent non-ionic surfactants, contains perfumes.

The formula is matched to sensitive materials such as lenses, coatings and frames. You can find more information here: The Cleaning Tabs.

Can I wash The Glove?

Yes. You can wash The Glove at 30 degrees without fabric softener. Please do not dry it in the tumble dryer.

Displays & surfaces

Not every surface needs the same product. Displays and smooth surfaces have their own requirements.
