Sand and dust everywhere—that's what we've experienced in recent days. And it's not just a deterioration for cars (which has been the most noticeable), people who wear glasses daily need to take special care and know how to clean their glasses to avoid scratches.
The vast majority of lenses today are made of organic material. The main advantage of this material is that it doesn't break; they can fall from great heights without cracking. On the other hand, a drawback is that if not properly cared for, they can get scratched.
We’re going to tell you how to clean your glasses so they don’t get scratched by sand.
What NOT to do:
- Clean them dry
- Clean them with the clothing you’re wearing
- Fog them up and then rub them
- Use glasses cleaning wipes (a completely counterproductive product)
- Use detergents or dish soap (it can damage the coating)
What TO do:
- Wet the lenses with water before cleaning
- Dry the lenses with a cotton cloth
- Dry the lenses with kitchen paper towels
What happens if we clean glasses dry?
Small dust particles that are invisible can scratch them. Wetting them with water removes those particles, and then a simple drying will leave them perfect.
These tips apply to both prescription glasses and sunglasses. And if your sunglasses have a mirror effect, they are even more sensitive to scratches from sand or dust if rubbed while cleaning.
Remember that caring for our glasses isn’t just about the lenses; it’s also important to care for and maintain the frames so they always look perfect. In this article you can find tricks and advice for keeping frames looking new, depending on their material.
