Clean Eyeglasses Using Soap Bubbles

Glasses can be tough to clean. Here are some ways to get them to shine.

Steps

  1. Take out your glasses from the glasses case.
  2. Put the glasses under the light to see if the lenses are clean.
  3. If the glasses are not clean use a wet cotton towel to tidy them. Never use a dry cloth to clean your glasses because the particles can scratch the lenses.
  4. If doing this does not make your glasses clean, try washing the lenses under water.
  5. Make some soap bubbles and put these bubbles on lenses.
  6. Wipe off dirt, grease, and fingerprints on the lenses using a wet cloth. Using your fingers is a bad idea because your fingers are very oily and dirty.
  7. After this, use water to rinse these bubbles out.
  8. Dry the glasses with a cotton cloth or lens tissue. Or you can dry the glasses by using a hair dryer. Do NOT use facial tissue. It is a wood product and the large wood fibers can do serious damage.
  9. Put your glasses back into your case.
  10. Finished.

Tips

  • In pharmacies, you can buy special lens cleaners.They are really handy and easy to use.
  • Wiping them when dry might cause tiny particles of dirt and dust etc. to scratch them. Eventually this will make the lenses appear cloudy and you will not be able to see clearly.
  • If you have detergents, replace soap with detergents.
  • Wet a facial cotton pad with cold water, then add a tiny drop of hand washing liquid. Very lightly clean the lenses in and out for 2 seconds. Then wash under cold tap water. Tear a piece of soft toilet paper and dab dry the lenses every morning. You'll never have to buy any products from the pharmacies.

Warnings

  • When you want to dry the lenses, don’t just let them dry by air because it may make some stains of water on the lenses.
  • Don’t wash your glasses with hot water. Because some lenses or frames may be made of plastic, plastics can’t stand high temperatures.
  • DON'T use soap if your glasses have anti-glare coating. This will degrade the anti-glare coating.
  • DON'T push too hard on the glasses or they might break.
  • DON'T use circular finger motions to clean your glasses, a straight side-to-side motion works a lot better.
