How to Clean Your Eyeglasses Cloth the Right Way?
Your eyeglasses deserve crystal-clear lenses—but even the best glasses won’t stay spotless without the right care. At Eyesli, we believe that keeping your glasses clean starts with maintaining your cleaning cloth properly. Yes, the cloth you use every day can actually make your lenses dirtier if not cleaned correctly!
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to clean your eyeglasses cloth the right way—so your stylish frames and lenses can always shine bright.
Why Cleaning Your Eyeglasses Cloth Matters
A microfiber cleaning cloth is designed to gently lift away smudges, dust, and oil from your lenses. But over time, it collects all that grime, and using a dirty cloth can scratch your lenses or leave streaks behind.
Whether you wear non-prescription sunnies or prescription glasses from Eyesli’s Collection, learning how to clean your cloth ensures long-term clarity and lens protection.
Step-by-Step: How to Wash Your Eyeglasses Cloth
1. Check the Label (If Available)
Most microfiber cloths can be safely hand-washed or machine-washed. If your cloth came with special care instructions (like the ones included in Eyesli clip-on sets), follow them first.
2. Hand Wash for Best Results
What you need:
-
Lukewarm water
-
Mild liquid soap (like dishwashing liquid, no harsh detergents)
-
Clean hands
Steps:
-
Rinse the cloth under lukewarm water.
-
Add a drop of mild soap and gently rub the cloth with your fingers.
-
Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
-
Gently squeeze out the water (don’t twist or wring!).
-
Air dry completely before next use.
3. Machine Wash: If You’re in a Hurry
Place the cloth inside a mesh laundry bag to protect it from lint and tangles. Use cold or warm water with mild detergent—no fabric softeners or bleach! Always air dry afterward. Avoid using the dryer as heat can damage microfiber fibers.
4. How Often Should You Clean It?
Ideally, clean your cloth once a week if you use it daily. If you notice streaks or if your lenses aren’t getting as clean as usual, that’s a sign your cloth needs a wash.
Tip: Keep a few backup cloths from Eyesli’s packaging to rotate while others dry!
Bonus Tips for Lens Care
-
Never use your shirt or tissue to clean lenses. It can leave scratches.
-
Use lens spray or warm water before wiping to loosen particles.
-
Store your cloth in a clean glasses case, like those included with Velora or Cael for extra protection.
