Glasses Cleaning & Care
Your eyewear is more than just an accessory; it's your portal to the world, your style statement, and your trusted partner in seeing adventures clearly. Keeping them clean and happy isn't just about looking sharp; it's about ensuring you see your best, too! So, let's dive into some quick and easy tips to keep your specs sparkling and functioning perfectly:
Clean & Clear:
- Rinse and Refresh: Start with a rinse under cool water. This washes away dust and debris that could scratch the lenses when you clean your glasses.
- Spectacle Spa Day: Imagine you're giving your face a super gentle wash! Use a mild dish soap or a spritz of lens cleaner for stubborn smudges. Be sure to clean both sides of the lenses and the frame, paying attention to the nose pads and arms where oils and makeup can hide.
- Microfiber Magic: This is where your Zenni microfiber cloth comes in like a superhero cape! It removes smudges effectively without leaving lint or scratches. Gently wipe both sides of the lenses and the frame in a circular motion.

Storage Superhero: Don't let your glasses become fallen heroes! Leaving them face down or exposed is risky. Instead, store them in their protective case when you're not wearing them. This keeps them safe from dust, scratches, and mischievous minis (kids, pets).
Bonus Tips:
- Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or your shirt – these can scratch your lenses.
- Resist the spit! Our eyes are sensitive, and this will help keep your glasses germ-free.
- For greasy smudges, makeup, and lotion, a mild dish soap can work wonders. Avoid harsh household cleaners and alcohol. Save the window cleaner for your windows, because this can damage your lenses.
Stay Cool & Beat the Heat
Just like you wouldn’t leave ice cream in a hot spot, you shouldn’t leave your glasses there either! Heat can cause crazing, tiny cracks in lens coatings that leave your lenses looking scratched or foggy. The good news? You can keep your specs cool, collected, and crack-free with a few simple tips:
- Avoid the Dashboard Dangers: Your car's dashboard or rearview mirror might seem like a handy place to stash your glasses, but they are heat magnets. Leaving your glasses in a car is like putting them in a sun-filled oven. Cars can heat up super quickly, even on mild days. Always tuck your glasses into their protective case or store them in a cooler, shady spot to keep them safe.
- Think Cool, Stay Cool: Follow the "Too Hot to Touch" rule. If something is too hot to handle with bare hands, like a stove, curling iron, or heater, then it’s also too hot for your glasses. Whether you're baking, cooking, or sweating it out in a sauna, keeping your glasses away from high temperatures ensures they stay clear and craze-free. Better safe than sizzling!
Regular cleaning and proper storage will keep your glasses happy and healthy, saving you money and ensuring you see the world clearly. With a little love and attention, your glasses will be your trusty sidekick for every adventure!
