Keeping glasses clean πŸ‘“

I'm afraid I just wash them with pretty warm water and washing up liquid. I do this two or three times a week.
I try to drip-dry them on a cloth as the frames are really fine and hold nearly no water...but if in a rush I will use a the soft cloth.

My glasses are usually sparkling.

I believe I could do this one-handed.

I have a small spray I bought from the opticians. They come in all perfumes and I have a rose scented one. A quick spray and wipe with the special cloth that came in the spectacles case. Otherwise a special microfibre cloth is quite good. I’m not sure how you would manage with your arm in plaster though.

Sorry, no tips!
My specs are always dirty! I have greasy skin and they have very narrow frames. They are even worse when I wear sun protection. I wear them on a chain around my neck, so they also catch crumbs!
I clean them several times a day with cheap wipes from Lidl or Ebay.

When mine get dusty I wash them with soap and warm water (same as I use to wash my hands), dry them on a cotton cloth and then use a clean glass cloth to finish them off.

Maybe a rinse in a bowl of warm water and a spot of soap could be done with the non-plastered arm, dab them dry and then leave to air dry.

Good luck.

Does anybody have any tips on how to keep your glasses (specs) dust free, I've paid for anti static top of the range lenses but I'm forever having to clean them and with my arm in plaster at the moment it is proving to be quite difficult.
