I never use spray or wipes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-upkeep#post-2345992 Fri, 01 Dec 2023 20:03:26 +0000 whidbeygirl 2345992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I learned from my optometrist that (at least some) brands will replace scratched lenses within a warranty period... I think mine was up to a year or more from purchase. &nbsp;I've made a note on my calendar to consider that before the period runs out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-upkeep#post-2345987 Fri, 01 Dec 2023 18:10:26 +0000 Val MN 2345987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like lyn67, I wash in warm water with mild dish soap every few days or whenever oily stuff gets on them. Otherwise, I clean several times a day by breathing on them to get some condensation from the air, then wiping with a lens cloth or a soft, clean cotton cloth. I was taught never to wipe glasses with paper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-upkeep#post-2345973 Fri, 01 Dec 2023 15:56:45 +0000 cat2 2345973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only use the cloths from the optometrist or that came with my glasses to wash or dry clean my glasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-upkeep#post-2345965 Fri, 01 Dec 2023 15:07:29 +0000 Angie 2345965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a spray and cloth from the optometrist. And a clean white bedsheet. Nothing else.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-upkeep#post-2345962 Fri, 01 Dec 2023 14:36:19 +0000 Star (Lise) 2345962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also should have mentioned the terrible paper towels.&nbsp; Any paper ruins your specs.&nbsp; Dishwashing soap is dependent on the one you use.&nbsp; I would not risk it as some of ours here are very strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-upkeep#post-2345952 Fri, 01 Dec 2023 12:15:42 +0000 lyn67 2345952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do need to wash mines once a few days with lookwarm water and mild dish detergent as nothing other cleans them so good! FYI I did try all the other things, too-spray, wet wipes, and special cloth---it seemy my specs get rather oily (in small patches) from&nbsp; creams, hair spray,&nbsp; make-up&nbsp; or cooking-who knows. It's the cloth you are wipping them after the wash that matters more I think -so don't use scratchy or prebalmed(!!) paper towels! I use the special cloth for specs for this. But it happened to me to ruin my&nbsp; coatings&nbsp; in the past&nbsp;(I always have those against sun and blue light)&nbsp;when I washed them&nbsp; 1.too often 2. in hot water and 3. probably&nbsp; scratched them with paper towels of all kinds...so be aware of that!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-upkeep#post-2345933 Fri, 01 Dec 2023 07:45:27 +0000 Star (Lise) 2345933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a bad experience with peeling protective coating in the past.&nbsp; I asked not to have it on my two current pairs.&nbsp; <b>Never</b> use any wash or wipes with alcohol as an ingredient.&nbsp; I have a spray formula from the optometrist but I use it sparingly.&nbsp; &nbsp;I do wipe with a dry cloth (also from the optometrist) regularly.&nbsp; I think less washing and wiping with liquids is better in the longer term. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-upkeep#post-2345915 Fri, 01 Dec 2023 02:50:40 +0000 Roberta 2345915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My glasses also get filthy during the day, but these Zeiss wipes that I buy by the box seem to keep them clean without scratching the lens. I also use the wipes to clean my phone and pocket mirrors while I have them out to clean my glasses. (I got them on Amazon.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-upkeep#post-2345913 Fri, 01 Dec 2023 02:42:27 +0000 Indigoprint 2345913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not worn glasses for that many years.<br /> I have bifocals and get the scratch resistant coating.<br /> It seems like I have to wash my glasses 7-8 times per day. My relatively new glasses seem to have minor scratches on them already with the protective coating on them.<br /> What are your experiences with glasses? </p>
