Keeping my glasses clean has been the bane of my existence. Learned some new tips here! Def need to get those smooth microfiber cloths to dry off my glasses after washing! Thank you for the helpful video!

@manichairdo9265 8 дней назад

I have a small applicator which dishes out liquid soap in tiny drops. So handy. My hairdresser gave it to me when I was struggling with a health issue.

@lsheffield6205 8 дней назад

I keep a little bottle of Dawn in my shower and wash my glasses when I shower. Guess I’d better add a microfiber towel too.

@Yoladyvoice 7 дней назад

Bravo! As someone who has worked in the eyecare feel I can confirm these tips! Only things I would recommend is swapping put your cloths every so often to keep from reintroducing grime and dirt to your lenses and if you aren't able to get your glasses clean this way ask your eye dr if they have an ultrasonic machine they can clean your glasses with!

Duckies! 🦆 Also, you can use it to wash your dog or cat that may have fleas. The Dawn breaks down their exoskeletons, killing them, and it also helps to get the flea eggs out of your pet's hair. 🎉

Love this! Just found your channel and I will be a subscriber now! I'm so excited to see what else I can learn. Women's glasses get even dirtier because of our makeup and mascara when our eyelashes brush against the lenses all throughout the day. This was definitely a video that I personally needed!❤❤❤

@NessaRossini... 8 дней назад

I have a little spray bottle and use distilled water and a couple drops of Dawn. I spray my glasses before putting them on and use microfiber cloths to dry. One side of the cloth has longer fibers so use that with the spray to clean, then use the other side with shorter fibers to buff streak free.

@traceydunlap 8 дней назад

I've already invested in those cloths. I don't use any product on them and they clean my glasses crystal clear! Those cloths also perform a mean polish on my earrings and necklaces as well! TFS!

I’ve heard Dawn isn’t recommended as a car wash, because it cleans SO effectively that it erodes wax & clear coat layers. If this is so, then it’s hard to imagine it wouldn’t also compromise the coatings on glasses.

@CleanThatUp 8 дней назад

You can also use a non scented / non moisturizing hand soap.

@flgirl45 8 дней назад

I own a cleaning business. Dawn on a paint job is far different from glass. Example: I use an alcohol, water, and dawn combo for cleaning glass. All of my clients use it as well. So light dawn on glass won't hurt it. 😊

@LilyLightOne 8 дней назад

This is how I clean my glasses, but I shake as much of the water off as possible. I have found it's also important to store the cloths somewhere that they won't have dust landing on them or the dust ends up on my glasses. I don't rub my glasses with the cloth, just lightly touch the cloth to any droplets of water left on the lenses

Another game changer is to look up the sheeting effect. By rinsing with a slow but steady stream from the sink I'm able to get my lenses almost completely dry with no or little need to use my cloth.

It is. If you do this, get an empty applicator lotion bottle. My hairdresser gave me a 50 mls one. Mini drops come out. You may be able to buy empty ones. Since then, I have bought anti bacterial wipes for my new hearing aid to prevent infection. They work on glasses, too.

I never clean metal frames. They don't attract dirt like plastic. Also, if you live in a tropical climate, plastic breaks by two years, in my experience. Don't forget the nose pads though. They do get oily.

@j7ndominica051 6 дней назад

I've been cleaning my glasses with a window cleaner. Apparently window cleaners are not as strong in my country than in America. I've had the same pair of glasses for over 15 years. You don't want to pick up any debris inside the cloth. That will scratch. The sink scrubber will definitely have pieces of soil in it from vegetables and planters and will even scratch glass. Paper has rough inclusions.
