How to clean your sunglasses without damaging the lens

Cleaning sunglasses

To maintain the clarity and protection of your sunglasses, proper cleaning is essential. Follow the steps below:

• Rinse the sunglasses under lukewarm water to remove dust and dirt that could scratch the lens during subsequent drying.
• Dry the sunglasses with a soft, lint-free cloth or microfiber cloth. Do not use paper towels or other rough materials as these may cause scratches.
• If the sunglasses are very dirty, a mild soap solution can be used. Mix lukewarm water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid, gently dab on the lens and rinse thoroughly. Make sure that any soap residue is completely removed.
• Do not use cleaning agents that contain alcohol or ammonia, as these can damage the coating on the lens and thus reduce the UV protection of the sunglasses.

Regular, proper cleaning extends the life of your sunglasses and ensures optimal performance and protection.
