5 Ways to Take Care of Your Sunglasses This Summer Season

The summer season is incomplete without your favourite pair of sunglasses. The time spent choosing the perfect frame and exploring various options is invaluable because every time you step outside, you'll need the right sunglasses. They are a good example of style and functionality because they protect your eyes from the sun while making you look stylish. However, when it comes to taking care of them, it is often neglected.

Either it gets slid inside our bag, lies on a table or is thrown inside the dashboard of our car- neglecting the fact that these small actions can contribute to scratches. Just as important as it is to get a pair of sunglasses, it is equally important to take proper care of them. In this blog, we will explore 5 ways you can take care of your sunglasses without ruining them.

Hardshell Case- Your Sunglasses Bestfriend

Consider a hardshell case your sunglasses’ best friend because nothing else can protect them from damage better. They are designed to protect your lenses from dirt, scratches and accidental drops! So, next time, when you are in a hurry and think of keeping your sunglasses without the case, stop right there and store them in a hardshell case (it will hardly take 5 seconds). Doing this will ensure that your favourite pair of sunnies stays with you for a long time, and next year, you invest in a new pair only because you want a new style, not because of scratches.

Sunglasses Drawer Organisers

If you are a sunglasses hoarder just like me, then I will share my secret tip. Invest in a sunglasses drawer organiser because it not only keeps them safe but also declutters your space. You will be able to easily store and properly see each pair in front of you. There are various options available in different materials, sizes and colours. You can get one for yourself that suits your sunglasses collection.

Clean Your Sunglasses

Cleaning them properly is another aspect that can never be overlooked. Most of the time, we clean our sunglasses with whatever is available, be it the corner of our t-shirt, tissue or towel, but we often forget that these everyday clean-ups are contributing to some scratches on the lenses. Well, not to forget, they can take off the coatings too. So, skip doing this and clean your sunglasses properly with a lens cleaning solution and microfibre cloth. Use gentle circular motions to clean your lenses from both sides.

Don’t Leave Your Sunglasses in the Car

If you think that your car’s dashboard is the safest place to store your sunglasses, then you might be wrong. Your windshield can attract too much heat which will make the lenses delaminate. Important coatings like anti-UV and mirroring might get degraded, too. Therefore, it is always advised never to keep your sunglasses in the car unless they’re in the case.

Avoid Placing Them on Their Lenses

Next time, whenever you place your sunglasses on a table without the case, ensure the side of the lenses is always on top. Sometimes, in a hurry, we often keep them on the lenses' side, but it can add so many scratches to your sunglasses. Also, try not to place your sunglasses on your head because that can make them dirty.

Concluding Thought

Always go with the thought “in case it's the safest place” when considering keeping your sunglasses safe. The sunglasses you are wearing come with protective coatings, and ruining them is not the right thing to do. Use the above-mentioned tips and store your sunglasses safely. You can get various accessories like a hardshell vegan leather case, designer microfibre cleaning cloth, LensGuard cleaning solution, and a keychain screwdriver for free if you get your sunglasses from Specscart.
