The right way to clean your plastic frames
When it comes to selecting your prescription glasses, you can choose between metal and plastic frames.
Plastic frames are popular for their lightweight, low cost and comfort.
However, you need to know how to clean your plastic eyeglass frames properly to preserve them best.
The proper way to clean plastic eyeglass frames
People who wear prescription glasses will systematically clean their lenses when they get dirty or steamed up.
Cleaning their frames, on the other hand, is often neglected as it may seem less necessary.
However, like lenses, eyeglass frames need to be cleaned regularly to ensure long-lasting wear.
A simple microfibre cloth can be used to remove dust on a regular basis, especially if the glasses are often left out of their case.
For a thorough cleaning, the plastic eyeglass frame should be rinsed with lukewarm water and a little lemon.
It is recommended to avoid the use of detergent or soap, which could damage the frame, and to avoid washing it in water that is too hot.
Once washed, plastic frames should preferably be left to dry in the open air.
These types of frames can also be cleaned with a specially designed cleaning cloth available from your optician.
Keeping your plastic eyeglass frames in good condition
Plastic frames are a common choice for many people as they are lightweight and modern.
Made from a mixture of petroleum and nylon, they are also inexpensive.
However, plastic eyeglass frames can easily get dirty without you noticing.
Over time, the lacquer that covers the frame colour can also fade slightly.
To prevent damage to your plastic eyeglass frames, there are a few recommendations you should follow.
Firstly, it is best to keep your glasses in their case at all times.
This will prevent damage by protecting them from outside elements such as dust.
Furthermore, plastic frames should not be exposed to extreme heat.
In fact, heat is likely to fade the colour and eventually deform the eyeglass frame.
Finally, regular cleaning of your plastic frames according to the instructions is the key to keeping your glasses in good condition for a long time.
Your Optical Center optician can advise you on the best way to clean your plastic eyeglass frames.
