A quick wipe with a shirt or tissue might seem harmless, but it&#8217;s one of the fastest ways to create permanent scratches on your lenses.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#e8f4fd;padding:1em;border-left:4px solid #0077b6;margin:1em 0;\"><strong>Quick Answer:<\/strong> Rinse your glasses with lukewarm water first, then use a microfiber cloth with lens spray.

When you wipe dust or debris across a dry lens, those particles act like sandpaper. Over time, this creates fine scratches that scatter light and make night driving difficult. Even anti-scratch coatings can only resist light abrasion, not aggressive rubbing with rough materials.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are the 5 Best Ways to Clean Your Glasses?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. Rinse first.<\/strong> Always run your glasses under lukewarm water before touching the lenses. This washes away dust and grit that would otherwise scratch the surface when you wipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Use lens spray or mild soap.<\/strong> Apply a dedicated lens cleaner or a drop of gentle dish soap. Avoid household cleaners, ammonia, bleach, or alcohol \u2014 these strip protective coatings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Microfiber cloths only.<\/strong> Paper towels, tissues, napkins, and clothing fibers are too rough. Use the microfiber cloth that came with your glasses, and wash it weekly with gentle soap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Blot, don&#8217;t rub.<\/strong> Gently press the cloth against the lens instead of scrubbing back and forth. Use light pressure and let the cloth do the work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Store them properly.<\/strong> When you&#8217;re not wearing your glasses, keep them in a hard case. Never place them lens-down on surfaces, and avoid leaving them in hot cars (heat warps frames and damages coatings).<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Can I use my shirt to clean my glasses in a pinch?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Avoid using clothing to clean lenses.
