How do I clean my glasses properly?
To properly clean glasses, please use only special glasses cleaning devices and cleaning cloths. A popular choice is also ultrasonic devices for glasses cleaning. Household remedies such as baking soda, shaving foam, glass cleaner, or dish soap should not be used for cleaning glasses, as they can damage or even scratch the coating of the lenses or the frame. To maintain the lifespan and quality of the glasses in the long term, it is important to invest in the right cleaning products.

Can you use home remedies to clean glasses?
Warm water is often recommended in combination with dish soap, as it is said to effectively remove dirt, grease, and fingerprints from glasses.
Commercial dishwashing detergents usually contain strong, alcohol and/or acid-based ingredients. This makes them very effective for cleaning in the household, but very dangerous for glasses. With regular use, it can permanently damage the sensitive surface of your glasses and the coating of your lenses. Experts therefore advise against using dishwashing detergents and homemade cleaning agents to avoid compromising the safety and longevity of your glasses.
Other home remedies such as vinegar, toothpaste, baking soda, baking powder, lemon, shaving foam, and even spirits are recommended in forums and blogs for cleaning glasses. They are definitely not suitable for cleaning lenses. Home remedies can damage the delicate lenses, the coating of the lenses, and the frame of the glasses.
Also, kitchen roll, paper tissues, or dish towels should not be used to polish glasses, as they are rough and can cause scratches. Please only use special eyeglass cleaning solutions and cleaning devices for glasses to ensure the safety and longevity of your glasses.
Can I clean my glasses with dish soap?
Dishwashing liquids usually contain strong to aggressive, alcoholic and/or acidic ingredients, which makes them very 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.
"To assess whether dish soap is gentle enough for glasses and suitable for the coating of lenses, it requires chemical expertise and in-depth information about your own glasses. Therefore, we advise against this option to avoid jeopardizing the safety and longevity of your glasses."
Spezialreiniger für Brillen
Can I clean glasses with rinse aid or glass cleaner?
NO, you should not do that. Glass cleaner and rinse aid are not tailored to the individual properties of glasses and lenses as well as their coatings. They may 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 glasses cleaner myself?
Yes, if you have the necessary knowledge. Mix water with cleaning solution and off you go. The cleaning solution must be mild and free from alcoholic or acidic ingredients, otherwise it can permanently damage your glasses, the nose pads, and the coating of your lenses.
The problem: Commercial dishwashing detergents almost always contain strong to aggressive, alcoholic and/or acidic ingredients, which makes them very effective for household use but dangerous for glasses. Without expertise, it is hardly possible to determine whether the dishwashing detergent contains acidic or other harmful ingredients for glasses, which is why we advise against making glasses cleaner yourself.
Better rely on experts and cleaning agents recommended by your optician. Due to their special composition, glasses cleaners are tailored to the sensitive surfaces of lenses and frames and do not contain harmful substances that can damage glasses.
Reinigungsmittel für Brillen
How can I clean my glasses 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 glasses cleaning spray correctly?
To properly clean your glasses with a glasses cleaning spray or a Cleaning Kit, follow these steps:
- Spray the glasses cleaning spray on both sides of the lenses.
- Use a specially designed glasses cleaning cloth, such as THE GLOVE, to distribute the spray on the lenses and clean them. (you will learn why you shouldn't use a conventional microfiber cloth in the next point)
- Gently clean the glasses by making circular movements from the inside out.
Make sure to regularly and thoroughly clean the frame of your glasses as well. Use a special cleaning device to gently remove dirt and dust from hard-to-reach areas. Avoid cleaning your glasses with regular household cleaners or dish soap, as these products can damage the delicate lenses.
Why is it important to use a special glasses cleaning cloth?
A special glasses cleaning cloth is important for effectively cleaning the lenses without causing damage. Glasses cleaning cloths are specifically designed to gently clean delicate lenses. They are usually made of soft microfiber that cleans your lenses gently and thoroughly without damaging the sensitive surface. They are capable of effectively removing dirt, dust, and grease without leaving any residue.
Other cloths such as paper towels, handkerchiefs, dish towels, or clothing items may contain abrasive particles or fibers. These rough components can cause damage such as scratches on the surface of your glasses lenses. Additionally, they do not remove dirt and grease completely and smear more than they clean.
High-quality glasses cleaning cloths are recognized by their special absorbency. This property elevates the cleaning performance to a new level. Only absorbent microfibers allow for streak-free and smear-free polishing, thus achieving the best possible result. (more on this in the next point)

How do I clean my glasses without streaks and streaks?
Use special cleaning agents for glasses only. The key to a perfect result is the right glasses cleaning cloth. High-quality cleaning cloths are particularly absorbent compared to conventional microfiber cloths, which makes a significant difference in terms of cleaning performance.
Absorbent microfibers take up the liquid from the glasses cleaning spray along with the dirt, instead of just smearing it, thus enabling streak-free and smear-free polishing.

Avoid cleaning your glasses in an ultrasonic cleaner, as this can damage and even destroy the surfaces and coatings of your lenses.
Ultrasonic glasses cleaning, what do I need to consider?
Ultrasonic cleaners should not be used without expertise or extensive experience with suitable materials, as not all glasses can be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Frequent use or application on 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.

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.
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. Diese 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 dish soap?
Dishwashing liquids usually contain strong to aggressive, alcoholic and/or acidic ingredients, which makes them very 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.

NO. Glass cleaners and rinse aids are not tailored to the individual properties of glasses and lenses as well as their coatings. They may 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 glasses cleaner myself?
Google sagt: Ja. Einfach Wasser mit Spülmittel mischen und los gehts. Das Spülmittel sollte 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: Herkömmliche 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.
Kann man ohne chemisches Fachwissen überhaupt feststellen, ob das Spülmittel säurehaltige oder andere für Brillen schädliche Inhaltsstoffen beinhaltet?
Eher nicht. Wir raten daher davon ab, Brillenreiniger selbst zu machen, um die Sicherheit und Langlebigkeit deiner Brille nicht zu gefährden. Verwende stattdessen 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 glasses on the go?
To properly clean your glasses on the go, you should only use glasses cleaners that are specifically designed for glasses. On the go, cleaning kits, cleaning cloths, and sprays that are lightweight and handy are ideal.
Avoid clothing, paper towels, or tissues. They can contain abrasive particles or fibers that can cause scratches or damage to the surface of the lenses, and they do not effectively remove dirt and grease, but rather smear the dirt on your lenses.
"How to properly use a glasses spray or a cleaning kit will be explained in the next point."
How do I use a glasses 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 glasses 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)
