How to Clean Your Microfiber Cloth
Your lens cleaning cloth makes it easy to keep your glasses spotless. However, that's not always the case! Sometimes, your eyeglass cloth might get dirty, which can make removing dust and grime from your glasses lenses a challenge.
If you've noticed your eyeglass cleaning cloth isn't completely removing the daily oil and dust accumulating on your glasses lenses, it is time to clean your microfiber cloth. There are a few ways to do this:
- Clean without water: Simply shake out the dust and dirt in the cloth.
- Wash by hand: Add a few drops of dish soap (that does not contain fabric softener or bleach) to a bowl of cold water. Let the cloth soak in the soapy water for a few minutes, and then rinse it with cold water. Let it air dry when finished.
- Wash in the washing machine: Using a bleach-free detergent, wash your cloth on a gentle cycle in the washing machine. Let it air dry when finished.
By regularly washing your eyeglass cleaning cloth, you ensure that it stays clean and sanitary. This means that you can easily use it to clean your glasses without transferring more grime and dirt to the lenses.
