I have been cleaning my glasses using bathroom tissue as I had thought it was softer than microfiber cloth, but apparently that’s not true.

I don’t want to use microfiber cloth as it can easily accommodate in silica or any other dust particles if not cleaned properly which will scratch my glass. I don’t know what to do in this case. So, how do you clean your glasses?

    I have been wearing glasses for 30 years. I wash them daily with microfibers tissues and spray intended for glasses. The spray on Amazon is 15 euros and lasts months. Washing using tap water and cleaning with paper tissues scratches the glasses.

    I put my microfiber cloths in one of those delicates laundry bags and toss it in with a regular load on cold, then let them air dry. Never had any problem with them scratching lenses.

      I don’t know what you mean by delicate laundry bags, is it any kind of container used to store delicates (and you toss the laundry bag into the washing machine?)

    The best way to clean glasses is with your fingers using warm water and dish soap. Don’t use super hot water, it can damage the coatings on some lenses. Start with a rinse to remove any particles, then clean them between your fingers, then a final rinse, shake them off and let them air dry.

    Using any type of cloth can cause scratches as you’ve found.

    IMO microfibers suck and 99.9% of the time a pain to ever use consistently. They trap dirt and oils. Even after washing their the most smudgey form of a wipe you can get due to the material.

    Get crystal lenses and not worry about it. Only had one scratch on them, that was due to them hitting the ground

    I have a set of microfiber cloths with one per room. Once they get filthy I wash them in a small clothes bag. And every so often just buy a new pack. They’re cheap.
