How to clean your glasses
A lot accumulates on your glasses during the day. In order to maintain a clear view, the glasses usually have to be cleaned every day. Many people therefore quickly grab a sweater or the nearest handkerchief.
But the correct cleaning of glasses extends the preservation of your glasses and takes no longer than with a handkerchief. How to properly clean your glasses:
To go or when things have to go fast:
- Use a microfiber cloth for cleaning on the go. Ideally, you always have one in the case.
- The same applies to the microfiber cloth: To avoid scratching the glass surface, first remove dust or dirt from the glasses with water or by blowing on them.
- If you are heavily soiled on the go, use one of our Beyeler Optik glasses sprays. Simply spray the spray onto the glasses and dry with the microfiber cloth.
Tip: With the additional lotus effect on your lenses, it saves you a lot of cleaning work in advance.
For daily cleaning at home:
- It is best to hold your glasses under clear, lukewarm water. The water should only be lukewarm, otherwise the glass surface can be damaged by the heat
- Clean the glasses carefully with a drop of washing-up liquid between your fingers and then rinse the glasses thoroughly again
- Then dry the glasses with a microfiber or cosmetic cloth
- It is best to hold rimless glasses by the edge of the lens to avoid putting pressure on the lenses.
Cleaning after a stay at the beach:
Most of the time, residues of sand remain on the edge of your glasses frame after a stay on the beach. Therefore, bring your glasses to Beyeler Optik for ultrasonic cleaning to avoid scratches. Also look out for sand residue in your glasses case.

- Clothes
- Handkerchiefs
- towels (emery effect)
- kitchen paper
- Wet glasses cleaning cloths
- Glass cleaner
- no moisturizing detergent
- Washing machine and dishwasher
- hot water
Storage of your glasses:
Always keep your glasses in the appropriate case to avoid putting pressure on the frame or lenses.
