The quickest and most effective way to clean glasses on the go is using a microfiber cloth, possibly with a glasses cleaning spray.
Here's a breakdown of how to clean your glasses when you're away from home:
- Microfiber Cloth: A clean microfiber cloth is essential. The soft material won't scratch your lenses and is designed to lift away dirt and smudges.
- Always ensure the cloth is clean. A dirty cloth can transfer more bacteria and potentially scratch your lenses.
- Glasses Cleaning Spray (Optional but Recommended): For tougher smudges or grime, a glasses cleaning spray is ideal.
- Spray lightly on both sides of each lens.
- Gently wipe with your microfiber cloth until clean and dry.
- Proper Technique: Gently wipe the lenses in a circular motion with the microfiber cloth. Avoid applying excessive pressure.
- Emergency Measures (Use with Caution): If you don't have a microfiber cloth or spray, you can use a clean, soft tissue or your clean shirt in a pinch, but be very careful to avoid scratching the lenses. Avoid using paper towels, napkins, or harsh fabrics. Never use saliva.
Important Considerations:
- Carry a Cleaning Kit: Keep a small cleaning kit with a microfiber cloth and glasses cleaning spray in your purse, bag, or car for easy access.
- Regular Cleaning: Even with on-the-go cleaning, it's still important to properly wash your glasses with soap and water regularly for a more thorough clean.
By following these steps, you can keep your glasses clean and clear wherever you go.
