#cleaning #glasses #optical

[@Phuztone]

I was an Optician & owned my own business for close to 50 years. I always use alcohol based cleaners due to the coatings. I was always told by the labs that ground lenses for me & the coating companies that alcohol will NOT hurt the coatings. What will mess up the coating is ammonia. This will wear off the coating within a year. Alcohol will not affect the coating. I don't know where they get their info. I have been cleaning my glasses for several years & have had no problem with the coating. My father-in-law has been cleaning with soaps & Windex & the coating is coming off in streaks. I know what I'm talking about.

[@gritynity]

Thank god, bc. Have used alcohol before to clean them

[@dplj4428]

i used alcohol and it ruined lens coating. i wonder if it was percentage too high. - - Might have been bad stuff too because during covid lockdown some bottles contained wood alcohol. -- Also, maybe soaking is more likely to damage versus just wiping?

[@BryanSchmidtSchmidty]

Windex is bad for glasses because of the ammonia content. And a solution with too high of alcohol content will also be bad. Soaps with fragrances or other chemicals can be bad. That's why Dawn dish soap is recommended here. No harsh chemicals.

[@alyssaroe7173]

I am a former optical specialist and yes the short answer is the higher the alcohol amount the more likely your lenses coating will be damaged from the cleaner.

[@ooopticnerveee]

Keeping my glasses clean has been the bane of my existence. Learned some new tips here! Def need to get those smooth microfiber cloths to dry off my glasses after washing! Thank you for the helpful video!

[@manichairdo9265]

I have a small applicator which dishes out liquid soap in tiny drops. So handy. My hairdresser gave it to me when I was struggling with a health issue.

[@lsheffield6205]

I keep a little bottle of Dawn in my shower and wash my glasses when I shower. Guess I’d better add a microfiber towel too.

[@HammerFitness1]

“A drop on each side” That’s enough to clean 10 lbs of dishes!

[@manichairdo9265]

Use an applicator. My hairdresser gave me an empty one. Very handy.

[@acidset]

Yeah that was too much, a few drops are enough I just have a soap dispenser with water and enough dishsoap to make it soapy This way I can easily clean my glasses, even up to 4-6 times a day (I hate smudges)

[@rp9674]

YES! All dish soap is the most over concentrated product ever

[@Yoladyvoice]

Bravo! As someone who has worked in the eyecare feel I can confirm these tips! Only things I would recommend is swapping put your cloths every so often to keep from reintroducing grime and dirt to your lenses and if you aren't able to get your glasses clean this way ask your eye dr if they have an ultrasonic machine they can clean your glasses with!

[@einnortube]

I have been doing this method of cleaning my glasses for years. kudos for sharing the right way to the public

[@cherylross4040]

Dawn cleans everything!!!!

[@lsheffield6205]

Except cars.

[@amyadams2945]

Duckies! 🦆 Also, you can use it to wash your dog or cat that may have fleas. The Dawn breaks down their exoskeletons, killing them, and it also helps to get the flea eggs out of your pet's hair. 🎉

[@QueenConsciousShay2445]

The was told that Palmolive is better for glasses…Dawn can damage the lenses

[@rp9674]

Pretty sure it's just ducks and glasses

[@vrapbrap]

I drink 8 bottles of it a day. Makes my shit nice and blue.

Brandon said it’s Noah, right? I like the way he explained things, hopefully he’ll do a video every once in a while

[@matthewcarey7323]

This is the exact method I started using a while ago and it is by far the best.

[@nakulshet]

This is exactly how I clean my glasses!! It just came intuitively to me. And today this video came as a recommendation. Glad to know I'm doing it right🙂

[@traceydunlap]

I've already invested in those cloths. I don't use any product on them and they clean my glasses crystal clear! Those cloths also perform a mean polish on my earrings and necklaces as well! TFS!

[@jen.nightingale]

Love this! Just found your channel and I will be a subscriber now! I'm so excited to see what else I can learn. Women's glasses get even dirtier because of our makeup and mascara when our eyelashes brush against the lenses all throughout the day. This was definitely a video that I personally needed!❤❤❤

[@kerstinsmith9782]

Wow, I had no idea! I will be using dawn from now on and cleaning my glasses correctly! Thank you very much!😊

[@INeedABlessingNow]

Thanks for this. I tried Dawn to clean my glasses years ago and found it to be the best end result as well as fastest and easiest. However, I prefer an air duster rather than cloth drying.

[@patrickkearney1577]

I was taught this method for cleaning lenses over 40 years ago by someone who designed and built optics for several space missions. For eyeglasses it is simple and better than any alternative.

[@monas.6839]

How on earth do my glasses get so filthy on the inside? Do my eyeballs spit on them? 😭

[@edkrzywdzinski9121]

At night, the grime fairies sneak into your home and do unspeakable things on your glasses. That, or the possibility that the air in your area is polluted and the lenses accumulate the muck and particles in the atmosphere. Worse if you cook with them on, especially with oily foods, you'd be surprised how much cooking residue hangs in the air, even with an extraction system.

[@rome7704]

Haha I'm pretty sure mine do

[@heavenleigh111]

If your eyes water then yeah it splashes onto the inside of your glasses. Your eyebrows and lashes can also rub them getting them greasy and cause dust to stick to them more

[@herbwalters1958]

It's right up there with a light, brief rain occurs and most of the drops are on the inside of the lenses. I'm thinking it has to be an airflow issue that is pulling them into the small gap.

[@conscience-commenter]

If you wear reading glasses that you flip up onto your forehead or higher on your head , the oils in your hair make the smudges that need to be cleaned . I keep a spray bottle of water and soft cloth to clean them as needed . Dawn soap is a detergent deigned to clean greasy dishes . Only use occasionally, not frequently.

[@jenniferodonnell1043]

Noah did an amazing job on the other side of the camera!

[@elizabethtaylor3779]

This one was particularly helpful and informative, thanks! Is there anything Dawn products can't clean?! Nice to see Noah narrating today 😊

[@lorenakademar5267]

Very basic and useful tips! Thank you

[@gpai064]

After thoroughly cleaning and rincing with warm water as described, I simply reduce the water flow to a very thin thread of colder water and use this to bring down the leftover droplets on each surface. The colder temperature reduces the surface tension of the water. No wiping is necessary AT ALL. I may have to wick the small amount of water left around the frame with a clean towel being careful to not touch the lens surface. This may seem obsessive-compulsive but the lens don't mind.

[@TicTac-g7m]

Interesting. Will try that.

[@johnkeepin7527]

I tried that, and it seems to work - but the water I normally use is medium hard, and the last thing I want is limescale on the lens surface. Might depend on how cold the water is as well.

[@DiegoSynth]

This. if there are remaining drops, you can dry them by gently getting a sheet of toilet paper in contact with them. Can do that in the frame's sockets as well. Don't grind, just put the glass in contact with the paper.

[@gpai064]

@@DiegoSynth Exactly what I do. Even if the water hardness is high, there is nothing left to evaporate.

[@Eternith]

My secret tech to add to this after wearing glasses almost my entire life is to turn the lenses parallel with stream of water. This helps push more droplets away. No wipe necessary.

[@RayPerkins01]

Great video. I find that a lot of the time, cleaning the lenses in the way you describe with warm water only works perfectly and avoids leaving any residue on the surface of the glass that needs to be rinsed off. I also make a point of cleaning my glasses after cooking, as this is the one daily activity that dirties my glasses the most. In this case, I do use soap, since this is best at removing the grease that condenses on the lenses.

[@KD-xj2kw]

This is what I do and I don't even have to use that much soap. I use tissue but need to try the eyeglass cloth. Thanks for this video!

[@TicTac-g7m]

Yeah, that special lens microfiber cloth is what I need too.

[@whitelily286]

Been doing this for years & its the best! ❤

[@colintuffs568]

Just a point - never put the lenses down on a porcelain surface in particular or any surface 😢

[@NessaRossini...]

I have a little spray bottle and use distilled water and a couple drops of Dawn. I spray my glasses before putting them on and use microfiber cloths to dry. One side of the cloth has longer fibers so use that with the spray to clean, then use the other side with shorter fibers to buff streak free.

[@johnthisler]

I have several pairs of reading glasses so being near to the kitchen sink doesn't always work. I like your spray idea.

[@NessaRossini...]

@@johnthisler Walmart has 2 ounce spray bottles for .98 cents and I put a couple of drops of Dawn dishwasher in after filling the bottle with distilled water. The microfiber cloths I use aren't the rough cleaning ones; buy the soft washcloth ones. Been using this for a few years and my glasses stay clean and streak free. Eyeglass cleaners never cleaned as good as my homemade version. Saves money.

[@9liveslisa]

Very good advice. I am totally guilty of the old t-shirt wipe 'em up.

[@Bruthaman2u]

Thanks for tips and will try this but have concerns about coating and if dawn really works on the lens so am hesitant but curious. Like how you explained steps but perhaps you could also mention other options or ways. Keep up the nice work and appreciate your style or delivery

[@user-pc4wb6md6p]

Thank Q so much, its exactly what i been practising all tis while, it confirms my belief that im doing it the right way even though i wasnt too sure if its really really the best!😂😂

[@Sometungsten]

I use lens cleaner and a lens cloth. Before I began that method, I did what you do here. They both work fine, but I prefer the lens cleaner - faster and more convenient

[@cleanwithcharm]

Very cool i will try this on my husbands glasses, he usually uses the cleaning wipes from the optometrists.

[@margiebeeb2836]

That’s what I do!!😊

I’ve been washing my glasses daily this way for donkey’s years, ever since a Moorfield’s Eye Hospital ophthalmologist recommended this as his best way to keep his glasses in their optimum condition and haven’t looked back. So easy.

[@bluewren65]

Did it take your doctor four and a half minutes to explain it to you?

[@laurenschenck5355]

[@tomcha1234]

great video, I only have sunglassess, but I only cleaned them with the lens cloth. The only question: how to clean the lens cloths?

[@toniabrunetti9084]

Thank You!!!

[@James_Baggott]

All spot on!

[@chrissolace]

Coming from having the most scratched up lenses ever, I found making sure you use that smooth microfiber cloth to be the biggest difference. Of course, washing it with Dawn helps remove the extra dirt and grime, but those scratches occurred and coating came off for me most when I didn’t use the right cloth.

[@johnp9650]

I’ve heard Dawn isn’t recommended as a car wash, because it cleans SO effectively that it erodes wax & clear coat layers. If this is so, then it’s hard to imagine it wouldn’t also compromise the coatings on glasses.

[@CleanThatUp]

You can also use a non scented / non moisturizing hand soap.

[@GretaWardFireFly]

I have used dawn and original ivory soap and both work great

[@flgirl45]

I own a cleaning business. Dawn on a paint job is far different from glass. Example: I use an alcohol, water, and dawn combo for cleaning glass. All of my clients use it as well. So light dawn on glass won't hurt it. 😊

[@WaitingToShineAgain]

@@flgirl45damage to the glass is not the concern here. The original poster is concerned with damage caused to the coatings.

[@MomBie4088]

Wax and clear coat for automobiles are a different chemical make up from optical coatings...quote from my optometrist.

[@pulkit200]

What about those alcohol based cleaner made for glasses/they sell with new pair of glasses?

[@CleanThatUp]

I wouldn’t suggest using them because the alcohol can damage the coatings on the lenses.

[@tupawskbearfuzzyears1870]

Job insurance, you will slowly ruin the glasses and need to buy new ones !

[@Sandyyyyyyyyyy]

Learn from my experience and don't use them. It completely removed the coating on my glasses in a few months.

[@oml81mm]

Dawn is the USA equivalent of Fairy Liquid. Both are made by Proctor and Gamble and are detergents. I do not know the exact ingredients but they both contain a colouring agent (one is blue, the other is green) and an added fragrance. I would suggest that the two products are effectively the same.

[@cottondai]

Hi I have a request for a cleanup. Do you have any video for how to clean a lifetime table?

[@rishavm8628]

[@Itsme-vo4fx]

Are commercial eye glass cleaners as good or better than Dawn detergent? I would think that since they are formulated especially for eye glasses and not a good all around product to clean anything and everything, that they would be better. I’m I wrong?

[@mibict]

Agree - that's the best way to clean eye glasses, but rinse I start with moderately easy warm water but finish with cold water. That way no water stains remain.

Hi Brandon and Noah, great video!! what’s the best way to keep the cloth clean used to dry the glasses? Machine wash? Hand wash? Thanks you👩🏻‍🏫👀😎

[@Saint_Wolf_]

A month ago? I watched some Nokia recorded video with the same advice on like 2012 and been following this advice since, only dish soap and that's that, my glasses go YEARS without a single scratch, in fact it made me start using my hands to clean the dishes until the culterly is "squeaky clean"

[@Jeffrey_Lew]

There's another consideration about using an alcohol-free cleaning solution. Polycarbonate lenses (which includes most plastic eyeglass lenses these days) will develop cracks around the edges if exposed repeatedly to isopropyl alcohol. Also, polycarbonate lenses by default have an anti-scratch coating because the polycarbonate material scratches easily.

[@LilyLightOne]

This is how I clean my glasses, but I shake as much of the water off as possible. I have found it's also important to store the cloths somewhere that they won't have dust landing on them or the dust ends up on my glasses. I don't rub my glasses with the cloth, just lightly touch the cloth to any droplets of water left on the lenses

[@johngoard8272]

Now I am quite hard on my specs and have twice and in quick succession had to have at least one scratched lens replaced and it becomes rather expensive. I clean my specs with the stuff you get from SpecSavers as they supply al my optical needs, and I have to admit trying to improve that stuff by adding isopropanol alcohol to that liquid but after watching this video will dump that and use the dishwashing liquid method - actually have done that before now. As a by the by being a hoarder I have loads of those small microfibre cloths lying all over my house LOL!!

[@elinat514]

How do you clean a tile shower with moldy grout? And prevent it?

[@TicTac-g7m]

It's the eyelashes often causing the inside oil smudging. Like some else said, also putting them on top of your head. I even know someone who uses hair spray with her glasses on.

[@PhoebeBuffay-lx3iu]

Looks like a good idea, I plan to use Dawn and clean my glasses properly from now on. I've been using cleaning wipes before, but I always felt like I couldn't get inside the seams of the frames.

[@jenniferrich7176]

I'll have to look for dawn in the shops, can't remember seeing it in the shops here in Australia.

[@MightyRude]

It’s probably sold under another brand name in a different color (in the Netherlands it’s called Dreft). Just use any ph neutral dish soap and you’ll be fine. Or find the dish soap made by Procter & Gamble (the manufacturer of dawn dish soap).

[@MightyRude]

I just checked and it’s called Joy dish soap in Australia.

[@hazelmeldrum5860]

Do not know where you live but here in the UK the opticians practically throw glasses cases at you so ask them if they have spare plus you can buy at a dollar tree equivalent .

[@CNTRYVRSY]

Does it matter if the frames are metal or plastic for this technique? 🤔 I only buy plastic frames for my cheaters but always prefer the classic silver (sometimes gold) metal frames for my bifocals. Also, what's the best method to remove the green gunk between the frame and lens / inside the bridge (nose piece)? 🤔 🤔🤔 Thanks

[@manichairdo9265]

This week I bought antibacterial wipes for my new hearing aid - recommended by my ear specialist. They are great for glasses, too. I got Medi swabs (used to clean the skin prior to an injection.) I'm vulnerable to infection.

[@lifesbeautiful3024]

Awesome! Now THAT’S the way to clean your glasses! Great job! Although in a pinch, there will be times when you’ll have to use toilet paper or tissue paper

[@JamieJamie2o2]

Exactly. I have millions of microfiber cloths, but today they were adding dust to my lense a little after cleansing. I then used a soft piece of tissue (I've heard how bad they are), but it worked out fine. I just gently pressed where there was water, and then used the microfiber cloths a tiny bit, and they're okay. Tissue isn't incredibly bad

[@apmiller77]

Foaming hand soap works great and is easier to rinse off. Probably just as “safe” as dawn.

[@klaymen0]

My optometrist also recommended to clean my glasses primarily in the evening. The reason is that there are aggressive substances from your skin, eyebrows, etc that can over time damage the coatings, so it is important to clean that away as soon as possible instead of letting it on the lenses over night.

[@timathypotato8034]

Another game changer is to look up the sheeting effect. By rinsing with a slow but steady stream from the sink I'm able to get my lenses almost completely dry with no or little need to use my cloth.

[@Comeonlillyloo]

We don’t have Dawn dish soap in Uk. Would fairy washing up liquid do okay or any other washing liquid.. enjoy about cleaning up classes is very educational.💖🐩🐩💖👍👍🕊🌈🇬🇧

[@j7ndominica051]

I've been cleaning my glasses with a window cleaner. Apparently window cleaners are not as strong in my country than in America. I've had the same pair of glasses for over 15 years. You don't want to pick up any debris inside the cloth. That will scratch. The sink scrubber will definitely have pieces of soil in it from vegetables and planters and will even scratch glass.

[@nelson1525]

Common sense isn't common. No one could figure this out until this video...amazing.

[@ZenTunE-]

If you have thin frames that don't pool up water, the best way to dry the glasses is just running water. Put the tap on the lowest possible pressure while still maintaining a consistent stream of water. Then just carefully rinse the lens top to bottom, letting the water carry all droplets away with it. Zero chance of smudges or scratches, and you don't need to have a cloth nearby. Then you can dry the frames on anything you have handy.

[@Ammpermeter]

Do that from 2007, approved!

[@PM-gx2bp]

This is great when you are at home but I have to clean my eye and sunglasses throughout the day. Somehow they get oil and smudges on them.

[@pcmobitab]

Ultrasonic cleaners are good for coatings?

[@stephenschroeder6567]

Instead of cloths of any type, I use my air duster. It's very efficient and no risk of any scratching from a cloth. It's like a small car wash dryer for my glasses.

[@pancakey636]

I’ve been doing this ever since I got glasses without knowing it’s the right way. I just didn’t wanna buy a glass cleaner solution 😂

[@doktormcnasty]

Re-using microfibre cloths is no good because they pick up particulate matter over time which scratches the coatings. So the best thing is you'd have to launder/wash them in between every use. Your glasses most likely got the worst of the scratches from using your shirt which probably had tons of small grain particulate that was doing a number on them. Paper towels might be a bit rough but there's nothing wrong with (non-lotion) tissues as long as they are fresh and not re-used. I used to do that for a while but couldn't stand the waste so now I use one of those very high pressure air blowers like what you can get for cleaning computer keyboards and drying glasses off with air only. In this way nothing EVER rubs up against my lenses other than water & soapy fingers and thumbs. It's really the best way to ensure NO scratches from cleaning can ever happen.

[@paulo6456]

Nice way to make that dish washing detergent get knowned, how much did you won to sponsor it!?
