Spectacle Cleaning Tips: People who wear glasses need to clean them regularly to maintain clear vision and to prevent eye strain. With regular use, the spectacles often get prone to smudges, spots and scratches. People use shirt sleeves or tissue paper to get rid of them, which can eventually harm the glasses and thus, the vision. Proper spectacle care not only improves the visual clarity but also helps prolong the life of the lenses by preventing scratches and build-up.
For proper spectacle care, you do not need to rush to the optical store. However, with simple and effective cleaning tips, you can get clear spectacle glasses. These tips are cost-effective and can be easily carried out at home. Here are the five simple spectacle cleaning tips that help get rid of smudges and spots in no time.
Easy Ways To Clean Spectacles
Lukewarm Water And Liquid Soap Mixture
Although people use cold water to clean their glasses, lukewarm water is more effective. Mix a few drops of mild liquid soap into half a cup of lukewarm water. Gently apply this solution to the lenses and wipe with a soft, clean cloth. This helps remove grease and dust without damaging the lens surface.
Vinegar And Water Solution
Vinegar is considered a powerful natural cleaner. Mix a few drops of vinegar with water and pour the mixture into a spray bottle. Spray the solution on the lenses as and when they get dirty and wipe gently with a microfiber or cotton cloth. This not only removes spots and smudges but also restores the shine.
Alcohol And Dishwashing Liquid Spray
For stubborn stains or greasy residue, alcohol can be an effective tip for spectacle cleaning. Mix a few drops of rubbing alcohol with water, and add a small amount of dishwashing liquid. Fill it in a spray bottle, apply to the lenses and wipe with a clean cloth. It removes tough dirt instantly and safely.
