I use a chamois cloth, seems to pick up oil/smudges even better that microfiber and need less washing. Also super easy to wash when it does need it. I basically just cut a dollar bill sized section off a natural off-brand sham-wow and it works better than anything else I've used

Worn cotton t-shirts work best. Launder without fabric softener or dryer sheets.

With plastic lenses, don't use paper products, including Kleenex, toilet paper, napkins, or paper towels. Paper (wood) fibers are hard enough to put microscopic scratches in lenses or coatings, eventually making them appear cloudy.

Microfiber cloth is pretty lousy for cleaning lenses, in my experience.

I found these cloths years ago, and they clean extremely well and go a long time before needing to wash them. Then I'll just throw them in the laundry with my clothes, take them out and air dry instead of throwing in the dryer.

If I my glasses end up getting particularly dirty, like grease spots from cooking, I do the dawn dish soap method and dry them with one of those cloths.

I use warm (not hot) water under pressure. Dry with a clean hand towel. Warning: don't use towels that were fabric softened, fabric softener can leave some nasty, hard-to-remove streaks on the lenses.

I've never been without at least twenty microfiber cloths before.

I just get new microfiber cloth every 6 months. They give these away for customers for free. They're excellent for cleaning.

Here's what i do:

• Always use a lens cleaner 1 spray TO THE microfiber cloth
• Rub in 1 direction away from center, both sides
• Dirty microfiber just goes in the washing machine with other daily clothes

Gin will clean you glasses better than anything EVER. Nex t time you're at your local bar, ask for a bar napkin with a drop of gin, and then dry with a microfiber, then thank me later!

I have a spray bottle with an isopropanol water mixture (around 10% isopropanol) and I just give my glasses a good spray and then wipe them with a clean microfiber kitchen cloth.

(I wash these cloths with just detergent powder, no softener or other additives, so they are grease-free out of the washer)

I use denim. My jeans get my glasses cleaner than anything else I've tried. I'm sure it's not as good for them as a microfiber cloth, but it's what I have on me. My wife has me clean hers, too.

Just water and a regular dishtowel. If they're more dirty I'll use dishwasher soap. Rub it over with a finger to get the greesy stuff off and wash the soap off.

The microfiber cloth that usually comes with the glasses tend to stop working after a while, and I always have clean dishtowel anyway.

Outside my kitchen I use my t-shirt or if I'm wearing a shirt, I'll use the underwear top, because shirts generally aren't too good at it due to prints or fabrics. Yes I wear a "wife beater" under my shirt. It's what it's for, and I guess also for cleaning glasses.

Use soap and water and rub it with my fingers. Shake the excess water off then use a microfiber to finish up. We use microfibers to clean around the house and always have clean ones handy.

Cold tap, pocket handkerchief.

Tap water and a bath towel.

Zeiss wipes.

Same as my laptop screen/keyboard - I use a dab of Dawn (or whatever brand I currently use) and a moist very soft sponge and dry with an old teatowel.
