HOW TO CLEAN YOUR GLASSES PROPERLY
How to clean your lenses while you’re on-the-go
We also wouldn’t recommend using a hand sanitiser to clean your glasses. Many hand sanitisers are alcohol-based, which could damage the specialist coatings and materials on your lenses that help you see clearer. Plus, there’s also the risk of getting sanitiser in your eye. If you’re worried about disinfecting your glasses, warm soapy water should do the job just fine.
Can I clean my glasses with hand sanitiser?
If you’re looking for an option for cleaning while you’re out and about, you could try an alcohol-free spray cleaner. You can use this on your sunglasses, safety eyewear or sports eyewear too. Just blow gently on each lens a little before wiping them to remove any debris, spray on plenty of solution, and wipe the lens dry with a microfibre lens cloth.

Why are my glasses lenses always foggy?
Your glasses may be foggy for a number of reasons and it is important that you know how to clean your glasses properly. It might be that your lenses are in need of a good clean after they’ve been smudged with greasy fingertips, or because you’ve breathed onto your lenses, which can cause further smears.
If your lenses tend to fog-up when you’re moving between hot and cold environments (or more recently while using a face mask), cleaning them with an anti-fog lens wipe or spray might be a good option to prevent them fogging up in the future. Find out more on how to stop your glasses from fogging up here.
Alternatively, if you’ve cleaned your lenses a few times, and they still appear foggy, it could be that they’ve become damaged and therefore need replacing. In this case, it’s best to take your glasses to your local optician so they can take a closer look. Try to see your optician as soon as possible, as foggy lenses can obstruct and obscure your vision
How to look after your glasses
While smears, smudges and accidents are sometimes inevitable, there are a few things you can do to make sure your glasses remain in good condition for as long as possible.
Refer to our Microfibre Cloth Cleaning page for more information.
Handling your glasses
When handling your glasses, always hold them by the frames using both hands. When putting them away, place them upside down with the bridge at the bottom, and try to avoid dropping them on the lenses. This can reduce the risk of scratching your lenses and keeps more top-heavy frames from falling over.
Storing your glasses
Always store your glasses in their case to keep them protected from dust, dirt and damage. Avoid leaving or storing them in places where they might get hot — such as near a heater, or in a hot car — as this can warp your lenses, or cause any special coatings to peel off
