Cleaning your shades 101 w/Edgar 😎

Keeping your sunglasses clean not only enhances your look but also improves your vision and protects your eyes. From personal experience, I’ve found that regular cleaning is essential, especially during summer when sweat, dust, and sunscreen can quickly build up on the lenses. I typically start by rinsing my shades under lukewarm water to gently remove loose dirt without scratching the lenses. Avoid using hot water as it can damage lens coatings. Next, I use a mild dish soap without lotions to clean both sides of the lenses and the frame. Using your fingertips, gently rub the lenses to eliminate smudges and oils. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with water to wash away all soap residue. To dry, I prefer a soft microfiber cloth dedicated solely to my sunglasses to prevent any scratches or lint. Another tip is to store your sunglasses in a protective case when not in use, which prevents dust accumulation and accidental damage. Avoid using paper towels or clothing to clean lenses, as they can cause micro-scratches. If you’re outdoors and don’t have access to water, portable lens cleaning wipes designed for eyewear can be a handy alternative. Maintaining clean sunglasses extends their lifespan and keeps your style statement sharp all season. Whether you’re rocking PHATEEZ or any other brand, following these simple steps can make a significant difference in clarity and comfort. Remember that your eyewear is an investment, so giving it regular care like Edgar suggests will ensure it stays looking and functioning its best throughout the summer and beyond.
