Always clean your lenses with a soft microfiber cloth instead of your shirt or paper towels, which can cause fine scratches.
Make sure the cloth is clean to avoid transferring dirt or oil onto the lenses.
2. Rinse with Warm Water Before Cleaning
Before wiping your lenses, rinse them under warm running water.
This removes dust and debris that could scratch the surface if wiped while dry.
3. Apply a Mild Dish Soap Solution
Add a drop of mild dish soap to your fingertips and gently rub it onto the lenses.
Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a clean microfiber cloth. This method effectively removes oils, smudges, and stains.
4. Use Lens Cleaner Sprays
Store-bought lens cleaning sprays are specifically designed to remove stains and smudges without damaging coatings.
Spray the cleaner on both sides of the lenses, then wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.
5. Try a Baking Soda Paste for Minor Stains
