Why clean glasses frames?
Cleaning your glasses frames is an essential part of maintaining your eyewear. Not only does it keep them looking nice and shiny, but it also helps to prevent the build-up of dirt, grime, and oils that can accumulate over time. Regular cleaning can also help to extend the lifespan of your frames, ensuring that they continue to provide the support and comfort you need.
Gather your supplies
Before you start cleaning your glasses frames, make sure you have all the necessary supplies on hand. You will need a mild dish soap or glasses cleaner, warm water, a soft microfiber cleaning cloth, and a soft-bristled brush or toothbrush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can potentially damage your frames.
Remove the lenses
When cleaning glasses frames, it is important to remove the lenses first to avoid damaging them. Start by washing your hands thoroughly to ensure that you don’t transfer any additional dirt or oils onto the frames. Hold your glasses firmly and gently twist the arms to release the lenses. Place them in a safe and clean location while you clean the frames.
Clean the frames
Fill a basin or sink with warm water and add a small amount of mild dish soap or glasses cleaner. Swirl the water gently to create a lather. Dip the frames into the water, ensuring that they are fully submerged. Use a soft microfiber cleaning cloth or a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the frames, paying extra attention to any areas with visible dirt or grime. Be sure to clean all sides of the frames, including the nose pads and hinges.
Rinse, dry, and reassemble
After cleaning the frames, rinse them thoroughly with clean warm water to remove any soap or cleaner residue. Use a clean microfiber cloth to gently dry the frames, ensuring that they are completely dry before reassembling them. Once the frames are dry, carefully reinsert the lenses by aligning them with the frame openings and gently pressing down until they click into place.
Remember, regular cleaning and maintenance of your glasses frames can help to prolong their lifespan and keep them looking their best. By following these steps and using the right cleaning supplies, you can keep your frames in great condition and maintain clear vision.
