Audrey Hepburn and Tom Cruise are just two famous movie stars who rocked iconic sunglasses. They personified all that we all love about sunshades, along with the simple fact that they protect our eyes.
If you make sure to take care of your shades, they can last you for as long as a decade or more. With the following eight tips, you’ll be able to do just that.
Sunglass Repair
If you have expensive sunglasses, such as Ray-Bans, you might want to keep them in good repair. Ray-Ban sunglass repair companies can replace lenses and stems and fix anything else that might happen to your shades. You can have them for many years when you keep them looking great. What better way to block the sun and look great?
Protect Them From Scratches
Glass lenses tend to be a bit more scratch resistant than those made from polycarbonate, but no matter if yours are glass or plastic, it’s critical to store them in a case. Never just drop them into your purse, messenger or laptop bag, or shove them deep into a pocket. You can accidentally scratch your shades with denim fabric, pens, or keys.
Hard cases are ideal. If you’re not a fan of carrying one of the hard cases, at least store them in a pouch made from microfiber. That will not only keep them protected from scratches, and you can also use it to clean your glasses.
Keep Them Smudge-Free
Shades are prone to grime and smudges – they pick the oils up from our fingers and skin, specks of grime and dirt from outside, residues from makeup, and a film of chlorine or salt from the pool or ocean.
To smooth those smudges away, you should clean your sunglasses every week or so. In the summer, you might want to clean them each time you use them.
Begin with clean and dry hands. Rinse the glasses under warm water and then soap up your hands using a few drops of mild dish soap that doesn’t have harsh moisturizers or chemicals.
Rub that soapy water gently all over the lenses, then rinse them. Make sure you dry them using a microfiber cloth. Don’t forget the frames and nose pad.
Stay Away From Harmful Cleansers
You should never use vinegar, Windex, rubbing alcohol, or any other type of household cleaner on your shades. Another thing to avoid is breathing on them before wiping them. Use only approved lens cleaners. Utilize a cloth made from microfiber that’s been made especially to clean glasses. If that cloth becomes dirty, either wash it or purchase a new one.
Stop Losing Them
If you want to keep your shades for a while, you should keep specific habits. When you store them, always put them in the same place. If you do this, the only time you’ll need to buy new ones is when you want to change your look.
Some people won’t even buy expensive pairs because they’re afraid to lose them. If you tend to lose yours, you might want to have more than a single pair. Have one pair for the car, one for your purse, and a pair to use at home.
Finally, turn to tech. They have new trackers for eyewear that clip right to the arm of your glasses and stay connected to your phone utilizing Bluetooth. This means if you lose them, they won’t be lost for long.
Taking care of your sunglasses doesn’t need to be difficult. Make sure you keep them in good repair, protect them from scratches and smudges, stay away from harsh cleansers and stop losing them, and you’ll be able to enjoy them for years to come.
