My glasses keep smearing. I've tried the wipes, used washing up liquid and just plain water.
Can't go an hour before they need cleaning again.
What do you use

My spray bottle of window cleaner and a paper towel.

Did you have them coated with anti glare? If so you are on a losing battle. I could never keep them clean constant smears! When I got new glasses in Feb I was quite adamant no anti glare! It’s been a game changer.

Microfibre cloth

Vinegar and kitchen roll.
What are they getting smeared with?

Same! Haven’t tried a microfibre cloth though. Usually just use my T-shirt or whatever. I’m sure I had the anti glare thing too.

No synthetic fibres, just a pure cotton tshirt and breathe on the glasses first. I also give mine a really good go with my wet cotton towel after I have wrapped my hair in it every morning. Any polyester and it won’t work as well.

These. I’m really really picky with cleaning cloths and these are great

Everything changed for me when I read a hint on here.

Use old fashioned cotton hankies rather than your top or paper towel. Just something about the cotton that works. I use them with Asda glasses cleaner and they last ages now.

Microfibre cloth and avoid touching them 😂
