How to clean your sunglasses without damaging the lens

Protect your eyes – clean your sunglasses properly
Sunglasses protect against the sun's harmful UV rays, but they require proper maintenance to ensure both optical clarity and longevity. Follow these methods to avoid scratches and damage to the lenses and coating.

Cleaning routine
• Rinse the sunglasses under lukewarm water to remove dust and dirt that can cause micro-damage upon direct contact with a dry cloth.
• Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to dry your sunglasses. Avoid paper towels or hard cloths that can scratch the lenses.
• Use a mild soap without harsh chemicals – spray the soapy water onto the sunglasses instead of pouring it directly on them.
• Dry the sunglasses carefully in the shade to prevent soap residue from hardening and damaging the coating.

Maintenance and inspection
Inspect your sunglasses regularly for dirt or damage. A consistent cleaning routine will ensure that your sunglasses maintain their function and appearance, regardless of their use – whether for sports, driving or everyday use.
