How do you clean your (eye) glasses?

[LaSelkie]

Mine have a bit of a hairspray film. I was about to use washing up liquid but I'm not sure if they might damage the blue light coating on them. What's the consensus? Thanks!

I don’t have blue light coating on mine, just anti glare (not very effective imo). I use a little dishwashing liquid on them and in between just the microfibre cloth they came with.

I have a spray from the optician and a cleaning cloth that I use. I also have indiduallh wrapped cleaning wipes in my bag if needed during the day.

I use glass cleaning wipes.

I use glass cleaning wipes but washing up liquid is fine too,

I find the wipes ok for everyday but I mean when they get really grubby and need more of a deep clean iyswim

Spray and cloth

I buy a big bottle of Eco spray from Amazon for about a tenner and it lasts about a year

I use washing up liquid and then dry on clean kitchen roll.

I bung them in the bath and let them soak with me. Between times, usually with the hem of my dress. DH has special spectacle cleaning wipes. I never remember to put some in my handbag but they clean up my phone screen beautifully.

Fairy liquid never had a problem

I don’t like the cleaning wipes, they seem a waste of money and bad for the environment. I just put the tiniest bit of fairy liquid on them and wash with warm water.

Should say my optician told me to wash them like that.

I mostly use glasses wipes from either Lidl or a pound shop (can't recall which one) near me. About £1.50 for a packet of 52. The first time I used them I was pleased to find out I wasn't getting cataracts after all.

Have been known to goz on them and use a paper hanky.

Washing up liquid, as recommended by optician. No damage to blue coating.

Iso alcohol spray

Eco glass cleaning spray and a microfibre cloth.

Washing up liquid or liquid soap and hot water and then dry them with a soft cloth. No issues.

I use wipes and rinse under warm water first to remove dust. My optician told me that washing up liquid would damage the coating but I’d much rather do it that way if it won’t.

Thanks all, great to hear the optician recommended washing up liquid @Imabitbusyatthemoment

I've had so much 'use this', 'don't use that' conflicting advice that I just wipe the bloody things with whatever is to hand or use Lidl wipes. Even spit on finger, rub the lenses, and wipe with my T-shirt if I'm slobbing at home. My glasses have to fit in with my lifestyle and that is not an optics lab. When they are clean I can see just as well as the day I bought them. For all I know the 'coatings' I was talked into paying for vanished ages ago. Life is too short. I had 2 for 1 offer - the main ones are gunmetal colour John Lennon types and the freebies are clear plastic framed Greg Wallace looking ones. I switch as the mood takes me.

I run them under a hot tap to remove any grease etc, and then wipe dry with a tissue

When they need a proper clean I just dunk them in a bowl of hot water and then buff then clean with a microfibre cloth

Liquid hand soap mainly. It's probably "kinder" than washing up liquid.

I use warm soapy washing up liquid and my hands, then a fresh lint free tea towel to dry.

I don’t like the cleaning wipes, they seem a waste of money and bad for the environment. I just put the tiniest bit of fairy liquid on them and wash with warm water.
Same here. I don't understand the obsession with wipes. Wish they would get banned!
