Let’s be honest, cleaning your glasses doesn’t exactly make the list of exciting style trends. But when nearly everyone is doing it the wrong way, it suddenly becomes a topic worth talking about. Those annoying smudges and fingerprints are harmless, but the habit of using any cloth available near you could be doing more harm than good.

The important part is not how often you clean your glasses, it’s about what you are using for it. The catch is that people unknowingly use the wrong fabric. Glasses are not just a styling statement, they are your window to the world. So, relying on a shirt, scarf or tissue for cleaning your eyeglasses lenses can also affect your vision.

Let’s uncover the best material for cleaning your lenses and why your shirt sleeve should never be part of the routine.

Why is Microfibre Cloth the Best Material to Clean Eyeglasses?

Why is Microfibre Cloth the Best Material to Clean Eyeglasses

Microfibre cloth has a super soft material that thoroughly cleans the lenses without scratching their surface. It is a perfect choice if your glasses have a protective coating on the lenses.

Microfibre material has many benefits, but most of all, it’s inexpensive. If your microfibre cloth is in no condition to be used further, you won’t have to think twice before buying a new one.

Also, you can have multiple pairs, so you can have one at home, one in your workstation in the office and one in the glove box of your car. This way, you’ll have a microfibre cloth handy all the time so you don’t have to use anything else to clean your glasses.

Specscart’s Designer Microfibre Cleaning Cloth

Specscart’s cleaning cloth is no ordinary cloth; you can tell by the looks of it. The visually appealing design captures the silhouette of Britain and the vision of Specscart - “A Frame For Every Game.”

The superb quality of these cloths can safely wipe the dust and dirt off your lenses without leaving scratches on the surface. The cloth is ultra-soft and machine washable. And don’t worry, the colour won’t run, no matter how many times you wash this cloth.

Your trendy eyeglasses need a designer cleaning cloth. This accessory can make a world of difference in your life. The absorbent fabric will absorb the oily matter on the lenses without leaving any residue.

If you have blue-light glasses or protective coatings on your lenses, our soft cloth won’t disturb the coating and keep your lenses safe for a long time.

Can You Wash the Microfibre Cloth?

Can You Wash the Microfibre Cloth?

Yes, microfibre cleaning cloths are safe to wash both by hand and in a washing machine. With every use, the dust and oil will get stuck to the cloth and eventually make it dirty. You can’t use a dirty cloth to wipe your glasses, or it will re-grease the lenses. This is why you should keep the cleaning cloth clean, too. It is easy to wash or clean a microfibre cloth. Here’s how to do it.

  • Just shake the cloth a few times to loosen the embedded dirt and dust.

  • To wash it by hand, mix bleach-free mild soap into cold water and soak the cloth in it for a few minutes. Take it out, rinse with clean water and let it air dry.

  • Put bleach-free detergent into the washing machine. Drop the cloth into the water for a few spins. Take it out and let it dry.

Washing the cleaning cloth regularly will give you the best results when you wipe your lenses with it. Washing will open the gaps between the fabric where dust and dirt accumulate.

Even when you have fashion glasses with no prescription in the lenses, Specscart’s cleaning cloth will make your lenses as good as new.

Clear Vision Starts with the Right Care

Cleaning your glasses might not feel like a big deal until a clear lens gives your vision clarity and comfort. Choosing the right material isn’t just about keeping your lenses spotless, it’s about protecting your vision and your daily comfort. So, the next time you’re tempted to use your shirt or tissue, remember, your glasses deserve better.

And here’s a little bonus for all the eyewear enthusiasts: every pair of eyeglasses comes with free accessories, which include a designer microfibre cloth, mild cleaning solution and a handy keychain screwdriver. This way, you’re fully equipped to keep your glasses in pristine condition, anytime, anywhere.
