I’ve been wearing glasses for over 60 years. I’ve always washed them with water and soap but I don’t put the soap on the glasses. I put the soap in my clean hands and create suds like I’m washing my hands again, then I wash the glasses in between my sudsy hands. Much easier to rinse them instead of dripping liquid soap directly on the glasses! 😆👍

I was an Optician & owned my own business for close to 50 years. I always use alcohol based cleaners due to the coatings. I was always told by the labs that ground lenses for me & the coating companies that alcohol will NOT hurt the coatings. What will mess up the coating is ammonia. This will wear off the coating within a year. Alcohol will not affect the coating. I don't know where they get their info. I have been cleaning my glasses for several years & have had no problem with the coating. My father-in-law has been cleaning with soaps & Windex & the coating is coming off in streaks. I know what I'm talking about.

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!

I've been wearing glasses since 1977. I am 54 years old now. Cleaning is something most wearers don't understand. I am in agreement with your method. Quite often I'll spray my lenses with Zeiss cleaning spray and let them sit for a few minutes. Rinse under the tap and remove water spots with a clean microfibre (Eng spelling) cloth. I keep a few microfibres on standby. Wash them separately from your main laundry, all in a pillow case. If you drop a µfibre on the floor then put it straight into the wash bag.

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!

I have been doing this method of cleaning my glasses for years. kudos for sharing the right way to the public

[patrickkearney]

I was taught this method for cleaning lenses over 40 years ago by someone who designed and built optics for several space missions. For eyeglasses it is simple and better than any alternative.

I've had to wear glasses for 40+ years and no one until now showed me the correct way to clean my glasses! I love all your videos so THANK YOU!!!!

After thoroughly cleaning and rincing with warm water as described, I simply reduce the water flow to a very thin thread of colder water and use this to bring down the leftover droplets on each surface. The colder temperature reduces the surface tension of the water. No wiping is necessary AT ALL. I may have to wick the small amount of water left around the frame with a clean towel being careful to not touch the lens surface. This may seem obsessive-compulsive but the lens don't mind.

Definitely recommend this technique. I've scratched so many of my previous glasses especially bad because of trips to the Beaches. Sand is so hard on the surface of the glasses. Warm water and soft rubbing with gradually more pressure is the way to go.

I don’t use any cloth, micro fiber included. I wash mine like you demonstrated, then once I’ve rinsed them off, I use a can of compressed air to dry them. I’ve been using this method for a number of years and my glasses look new.

Thanks for this. I tried Dawn to clean my glasses years ago and found it to be the best end result as well as fastest and easiest. However, I prefer an air duster rather than cloth drying.

[AnitaGrace]

I’ve been cleaning my glasses using this method for the past couple of months (when I first watched this video)
I LOVE it. Fast, easy, no need to spend money and my glasses stay clean and clear. Thanks!😊

[gigijordan]

Dawn is simply the best for everything! Worship the stuff...

[NessaRossini...]

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.

“A drop on each side”

That’s enough to clean 10 lbs of dishes!

If you live in Australia or UK, Fairy is the equivalent to Dawn, made by the same people that make Dawn. They say though to make sure you don't use a detergent with dyes or fragrance.

[matthewcarey]

This is the exact method I started using a while ago and it is by far the best.

Been wearing glasses for 60 years and I learned and maintained this method when I was a child. Thank you

I have two extra steps in my glasses cleaning routine:

1. I use a microfiber cloth with soap. Using a soft microfiber cloth is much safer than using a finger.
2. I use a dust blower bulb to remove water drops from the lenses and frame. Then, I use a soft cloth to wipe the drops from the frame. Wiping almost dry glasses with a high-quality microfiber cloth makes them really shine.
