Proper care for sunglasses is essential to maintaining their quality and longevity. By following the right cleaning, storage, and care tips, you can ensure your products stay in pristine condition, keeping customers happy and extending the life of your investment in bulk sunglasses for resale, personal or professional use.

What is the best way to clean sunglasses?

Keeping your sunglasses clean is crucial not just for aesthetic reasons, but also for optimal performance. One of the ways you can do this is to use microfiber cloths, your best friend when it comes to cleaning sunglasses. Unlike regular cloths or paper towels, microfiber won’t scratch or damage the lenses. Combine this with a lens-safe cleaning solution specifically formulated for eyewear to achieve a spotless finish.

Common mistakes to avoid include the use of tissues or the edge of your clothing. Steering clear of abrasive materials will lessen your chance of putting tiny scratches into your lenses. One or two may not seem so bad, but over time it will greatly impair your vision while wearing them. It’s also important to never use household cleaning products like glass cleaner or ammonia-based solutions, as these can strip away protective coatings and damage the frame.

Follow this step-by-step guide to effectively and safely clean your sunglasses:

1. Rinse the sunglasses under lukewarm water to remove dust and particles.
2. Apply a few drops of lens-safe cleaning solution or mild dish soap.
3. Gently clean the lenses and frame with your fingertips.
4. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
5. Use a microfiber cloth to dry and polish the lenses.

These simple steps will keep your sunglasses spotless and scratch-free.

 

Proper sunglasses storage to prevent damage

Storage also plays a key role in preventing damage and maintaining the quality of your sunglasses inventory. Whether you’re managing a personal collection or stocking bulk sunglasses for sale, consider the following storage tips:Always store sunglasses in a case when not in use.

General Care Best Practices for Sunglasses and Accessories

In addition to cleaning and storage, there are general care practices you can follow that will make a huge difference in preserving the integrity of your sunglasses:

• Use both hands when removing sunglasses to prevent frames from bending and warping over time.
• Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures. Leaving sunglasses in the car during the high heat of summer can warp them, and doing so in the extreme cold of winter can make the frames brittle and easily breakable.
• Periodically check the screws on the arms of the sunglasses to ensure they remain tight. This is particularly important for retailers maintaining an inventory of bulk sunglasses, and selling product in poor condition will hurt your business.
