Cleaning your Glasses

Glasses should be cleaned with the cloth, which is usually included with the glasses. Fortnightly, you may wish to wash them in warm soapy water, rinse well and dry with a cleaning cloth. This should be done as follows:

Rinse the glasses in warm water. Ideally, running water.
Then, using a mild soap, wash them in warm water. A dish-soap or wishing up liquid is best and you should avoid hand soaps, which can leave a residue. You may need to use a clean cloth, preferably cotton. Use circular motions to wipe off the soap as the glasses are rinsed under a running tap of warm water.
The glasses can then be dried gently with a cotton towel/chamois. The frame should also be dried.
If the nose pads need cleaning, try using a soft toothbrush but ensure that you do not scratch the lenses.

Alternatively, you may wish to place the glasses in soapy water and wrap a damp cloth around the front and back of the lens and wipe it using your fingers to push the cloth, from side to side gently. A cotton bud can be used to dry parts that are hard to reach.

After cleaning and drying your glasses, put them back on and inspect them for any stubborn marks or soap.
