Cleaning Eyeglasses - Homemade Cleaner

RE: Cleaning Eyeglasses - Homemade Cleaner Post By Joseph (Guest Post) (05/30/2008) From the Bounty website: http://www.quickerpickerupper.com/faq.shtml#5 5) Is it okay to use Bounty paper towels to clean my plastic eyeglass lenses? Most opticians do not recommend using paper products to clean plastic lenses. Paper comes from wood. Wood fibers, even though very soft, may damage sensitive plastics. Check with your optician to see what is recommended for cleaning your plastic lenses.

Eyeglass cleaning cloths are inexpensive and can be washes and reused for a long time. Wash these cloths with hot water and disinfectant soap at your sink and thoroughly rinse. Hang to dry. Taking a chance isn't always worth the lenses when these products are so inexpensive. Just a thought, peace.

One caveat: On my Wallgreens Lens-Clear container, the mfr cautions that their formula is NOT FOR ANTI-REFLECTIVE LENSES. The only ingredient that is mentioned on the container is Isopropyl Alcohol, which is rubbing alcohol, and this might be the ingredient that is harmful to anti-reflectives. One other thing: To avoid scratching the lenses, I suggest you tell folks to first run warm - not hot - tap water - let it gush - over both sides of each lens to wash away any particulates that may have settled on the lenses. Then use the cleaner formula. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Eyeglasses - Homemade Cleaner Post By michelle (Guest Post) (01/27/2007) Thanks for the formula I used it and it works great! I am a student and cutting any additional costs is always great.

As for the alcohol mixture, it's a great tip and one that will save us eyeglass wearers plenty of money :) Also, make sure to wash your cleaning cloths often, as dust and dirt can gather on them and will scratch lenses like a Brillo pad :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Eyeglasses - Homemade Cleaner Post By Maharetnin (Guest Post) (12/13/2004) I can tell you from experience, never clean your glasses with cloths that have been used for waxing (hair removal). They will scratch the lenses horribly. Even after hotwater cleaning.

I cut up an old t-shirt into several small squares and placed them in the car, tucked them into coat pockets and by the chair I sit when I read. Report Spam or Abuse
