    Whomever may be reading this, I’ve recently found incredible luck with dawn dish soap.

    • Run glasses and hands under water
    • Put glasses to the side and lather dish soap on your fingers.
    • Using your lathered fingers, gently apply soap to glasses
    • Put glasses to the side and rinse off your hands so they’re not still soapy
    • Reduce water pressure so it’s gentle, constant stream of water.
    • Rinse off glasses

    I only really clean my glasses once a month ish. Maybe twice. Of course if I smear my glasses or it’s an eventful week, I clean as needed. That’s just how often I clean them.

      This is the way, with a nice microfiber towel to dry.

      It’s also hard to do on the go and when I’m lazy.

        If you use a nice smooth stream of water it’ll leave the lenses spotless. If you’re doing it right you only need to dry the frames.

      I have a box of a few hundred disposable glasses cleaning wipes I just stuff everywhere. Was like $20 on Amazon and my best purchase ever. Been using it for months. Life changing.

      I picked up this trick from a reddit comments years ago and it’s a godsend, perfectly clean smudge-free glasses, and they last longer as you’re less likely to scratch them.

      i’ve had glasses for a little over a year now and this is what i too have been doing since beginning. i thought it would be bad for the lenses and remove the coating but kept on doing it anyway and they are totally fine. i keep a soft cloth in my pocket for little smudges though.
